About us

Timothy Searle, TEP
Global Wealth Structuring Expert

Based in the UAE for over 30 years and partnered with a member of the Al Maktoum ruling family, Tim Searle is a former Naval Officer turned international wealth architect.

After building a financial planning firm with $2bn in assets and selling it to a FTSE-listed PLC in 2023, he established HNWTAX. His practice exclusively focuses on mitigating cross-border taxes, structuring intergenerational wealth, and ensuring absolute privacy for high-net-worth global families.

  • Tax Mitigation: Protecting overseas assets from UK Inheritance and US Estate/Withholding taxes.
  • Structuring: Securing succession, ring-fencing assets from Probate/Shariah, and providing rapid liquidity.
  • Privacy: Deploying discrete, CRS/FATCA-compliant structures to keep family affairs away from public scrutiny.
