After training in Liverpool, he has spent his career in Chester, most recently at Knights as a partner, building a practice dedicated to serving the needs of landed estates and HNW individuals, including

• structured lifetime tax planning and succession planning;

• agricultural law;

• whole estate purchase and sale;

• forestry and sporting rights;

• renewables projects including wind farms and solar parks;

• public and private rights of way.

In his private client work, Dicky represents HNW individuals in complex and high value residential property transactions – often involving Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and Welsh Land Transaction Tax (LTT) advice – as well as providing wills, lasting powers of attorney and bespoke estate and tax planning.
