Blake Morgan strengthens private client team

Blake Morgan has announced the appointment of Daniel Church as a new Partner in its London-based Succession and Tax team, marking a significant expansion of its Private Client offering. Church is the fifth new Partner to join the London office in the past year, underscoring the firm's ongoing commitment to enhancing its legal services. He brings robust experience across various Private Client areas, including business protection, succession planning, complex wills, lasting powers of attorney (LPAs), and tax planning advice.

Church’s impressive client list features SME business owners, high net worth blended families—including a family listed in the Times Rich List UK—and notable sports and media personalities, as well as numerous UK residents domiciled outside the UK. He is expected to play a crucial role in further developing Blake Morgan’s reputation in the Private Wealth service sector, having already contributed to the firm’s recognition in the 2025 Chambers High Net Worth Guide.

With over 14 years of post-qualification experience, including more than six years as a Partner in another Chambers High Net Worth-ranked Private Client team, Church boasts a wealth of expertise. He has previously served as President of the Surrey Law Society and is an affiliate member of the Society for Trust and Estate Protection (STEP).

Helen Bunker, Chair and Head of Private Client at Blake Morgan, expressed her enthusiasm about Church's appointment, stating “It’s fantastic to be able to welcome Daniel to Blake Morgan during an important period of growth for both the Private Client team, and the firm. In particular, he will be working closely with colleagues in our corporate and litigation teams to maximise the range of legal services we can provide to our high-net-worth clients and business owners. Daniel has already hit the ground running since starting, bringing further high-calibre advice to our very well-regarded Private Client team.”
