Bio

Sid is an award-winning estate planner, engaging speaker, and founding director of Amadeus Legal Services. Described by clients as "a pleasure to deal with", he is a kind, respectful and empathetic adviser who looks after his clients as if they were guests in his home.

He has been providing estate planning, financial planning, and tax planning advice for nearly 15 years. In that time, he has helped over 2,000 clients achieve their goals - the vast majority coming through referrals from existing clients. Clients such as Zunaira Sohag, who says "if you are looking for a professional who combines extensive knowledge with a genuine commitment to guiding clients through the complexities of estate planning, Sid is the ideal choice".

In 2022 and 2023, Sid won the award for Estate Planning Consultant of the Year at The British Wills and Probate Awards.

He has been the recipient of other awards and nominations but draws most satisfaction from educating people on the importance of proper estate planning and advising them on the options available to them. He lives by the mantra, 'failing to prepare is preparing to fail'.

Sid's background in financial services and accounting complements his extensive knowledge of estate planning and enables him to provide his clients with holistic advice. A self-proclaimed perfectionist with more than an ear for music, Sid's superpower is his ability to listen. He is dedicated to meeting his clients' vision and making them feel heard.

Sid is a member of the Society of Will Writers and the BEST Foundation (the British Estate Succession and Trust Practitioners). He is also an affiliate of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.

He has a master's degree from De Montfort University and holds industry-recognized qualifications for mortgage advisers (CeMAP), financial advisers (CeFA), and trusts and estates practitioners (STEP).

A keen reader and budding Hindustani classical vocalist, Sid lives with his wife and thirteen year-old- son.
