UK law firm Michelmores has appointed Dhana Sabanathan as a Partner in the Private Client Department in the Tax, Trusts & Succession team in London.
Dhana joins from Winckworth Sherwood where she was a Partner in the Private Business & Wealth Team. James Gribbin, an Associate in the Private Business & Wealth Team at Winckworth Sherwood, will also be joining the Firm’s Private Client Department this month.
Bringing extensive experience in the private client and wealth management sector, Dhana specialises in working with high-net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, corporates and owner-managed businesses. She is a trusted advisor to significant family offices and will be bringing her clients and contacts based in the US, Far East and Middle East to Michelmores.
Dhana’s appointment will strengthen and build the successful private wealth services Michelmores provides to ultra-high net worth and international clients. Of the move, Dhana said:
“Michelmores has the ambition to become one of the go-to private client firms and I’m looking forward to working with teams across the firm to focus on how we work with private clients. Having a real depth and understanding in other teams of what we do for our private clients and drawing on the full services in the firm will allow us to provide a seamless service for our clients.”
Peter Sigler, Head of International at Michelmores, said:
“Dhana brings a strong skillset and significant experience with ultra-high net worth management, estate planning and international tax advice. Her reputation, extensive experience and broad skillset will further strengthen our international offering for our private clients.”

She is a contributing author to Lexis PSL Private Client and regularly writes for the Financial Times, providing commentary on matters relating to international private clients.
