Jurit appoints rare dual-qualified lawyer to expand Anglo-French private wealth expertise

Jurit has appointed highly experienced private client dual-qualified lawyer Nicole Gallop Mildon as a consultant in its Private Wealth & Tax team, strengthening the firm’s specialist Anglo-French capability.

Nicole brings almost 30 years’ experience advising individuals and families on complex private client matters, with the rare distinction of being qualified in both England & Wales and France.

Based in London and France, she helps clients navigate the legal and tax complexities that arise when families, assets and succession planning span multiple jurisdictions.

Her appointment further enhances Jurit’s growing international private wealth offering, joining fellow Franco-British specialists Jo Summers, Claire Adenis-Lamarre and Caroline Williams in the firm’s Private Wealth & Tax team.

Nicole advises clients on wills, estate planning, succession, probate, mental capacity, lasting powers of attorney, trusts and the ownership, inheritance and disposal of French property. She is particularly experienced in helping British nationals with assets in France understand the differences between the two legal systems and avoid potential difficulties when planning for the future.

Nicole’s interest in cross-border private client work began at an early age, having grown up in Belgium where she experienced first-hand the practical challenges faced by international families.

After studying at King’s College London and completing further legal studies in Paris, Nicole began her career at a Paris notarial practice before qualifying under French law. Following her return to the UK, she qualified as a solicitor in England & Wales, creating the dual qualification that has shaped her career.

She has since held senior positions at boutique and national law firms, including as an equity holder, director and partner, developing a reputation as a leading adviser on Anglo-French private client matters.

Nicole, diplômée notaire, commented:

“Very few lawyers are qualified to advise from both an English and French legal perspective, and that has shaped my career for almost three decades.

“Families are increasingly international, but succession, property ownership and incapacity laws can differ significantly between countries. Helping clients navigate those differences is both intellectually fascinating and incredibly rewarding.

“Jurit’s collaborative culture, independence and strength of its Private Wealth & Tax team made it a very attractive proposition. The firm’s consultant model allows me to focus on delivering the best possible advice for clients while working alongside exceptional colleagues with complementary expertise.”

Jo Summers, Head of Private Wealth & Tax at Jurit, added: “Nicole brings an exceptionally rare combination of expertise to Jurit.”

“Her appointment reflects the growing demand for specialist advice as more individuals own overseas property, relocate internationally or have family connections across different jurisdictions, and reinforces our commitment to providing clients with truly specialist advice across international succession planning, estate administration and wealth preservation.”

Robert Marcus, Founding Partner at Jurit, concluded: “We are delighted to welcome Nicole to Jurit. Her dual qualification together with the experience she brings, strengthens our ability to support individuals and families with increasingly complex wealth and succession planning needs even further.”

Jurit’s Private Wealth & Tax team was recently recognised in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide, reinforcing the firm’s position as a destination firm for complex private wealth advice in the UK and internationally.
