Our specialist Private Wealth Disputes lawyers have extensive experience acting in disputes for HNW and UHNW clients.
We act for trustees, executors, personal representatives, protectors, beneficiaries, charities and for individuals in a wide range of disputes involving estates, trusts and land.
We often advise on complex and cross-jurisdictional issues, and regularly work alongside other intermediaries based offshore. We have specialist expertise in fraud cases involving trusts and estates, and we work with our top ranked criminal team on cases which involve criminal allegations, and with our media and reputation team on cases which where our clients have a public profile or in cases which might involve a wider public interest. We also work closely alongside our leading family team in divorce cases involving trust property.
We are regularly instructed in relation to contentious matters arising in the Court of Protection and are experienced in advising charities in relation to their potential fraud exposure as well as defending charitable legacies and other such related disputes. We also act often in disputes arising in relation to family farms and landed estates.
