With over a decade of experience in property law, Wenxi advises high-net-worth individuals, families, trustees, corporate investors and lenders on complex residential and commercial transactions.
She moved to the UK from China in 2005 to pursue postgraduate legal studies, later spending time in South Korea and the United States before returning in 2015. After qualifying as a solicitor, Wenxi built her practice at London firms, advising international clients on high-value property and related trust and ownership matters. She joined Jury O’Shea LLP as a Partner in 2025, having most recently led the Asia-Pacific desk at a leading London practice, where she advised international clients on prime London property sales and acquisitions.
Her expertise spans prime real estate transactions, refinancing and property ownership structures, including transactions involving trusts, SPVs, declarations of trust, beneficial ownership and SDLT considerations.
Wenxi has recently qualified as a full member of STEP (TEP) and completed the STEP Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Private Wealth Advice, a Level 7 qualification designed for experienced practitioners in the private wealth field. The programme covers areas including cross-border succession, trusts, trustee compliance, international taxation and information exchange, family business advising, digital assets and strategic philanthropy.
Building on her longstanding work with high-net-worth and international clients, Wenxi is developing her practice further in private client and succession matters. She advises on and prepares English wills, particularly for internationally based clients whose wills deal with UK assets and assists clients in considering how their UK property and other UK assets should be addressed as part of their succession arrangements.
Where a matter raises tax, trust administration, investment, foreign-law issues, Wenxi works alongside the client’s existing advisers or coordinates with appropriate specialist professionals, including tax advisers, trustees, accountants and lawyers in the relevant jurisdictions. Her role is focused on the English legal aspects of the matter, while specialist advisers provide advice within their respective areas of expertise.
This collaborative approach is particularly important for internationally mobile families and clients with assets in more than one jurisdiction, where UK property, succession arrangements and overseas legal or tax considerations may overlap.
Recognised for her clear, practical and proactive approach, Wenxi guides clients through complex matters and is valued for her ability to resolve issues, bridge cultural and legal differences and build long-term trusted relationships with international clients.
A native Mandarin speaker, Wenxi is also fluent in Korean and conversational in Cantonese. Her multicultural background and language skills enable her to work effectively with international families, trustees, businesses and professional advisers across jurisdictions.

- All aspects of property transactions, including sales, purchases, remortgaging and lease extensions.
- Acting for lenders on financing, mortgages and refinancing, including Islamic finance.
- Representing private and commercial clients in sales, acquisitions and landlord and tenant matters.
