Isabella Savill

Practice Areas

Named as an “absolute star in the making” by Chambers High Net Worth 2024 and the winner of the “Star Associate” category at the Chambers High Net Worth Awards 2023, Isabella is a meticulous, perceptive and assured pair of hands who advises on all aspects of family law. She recognises her clients’ legal and non-legal objectives while striving to achieve an early and consensual resolution wherever possible.

With a practice ranging from mid to ultra high net worth cases, Isabella is regularly involved in complex financial disputes and jurisdictional issues, often including company valuations, trust structures, art aspects and contested nuptial settlements. She has expertise in pursuing financial assistance for the benefit of children from unmarried parents and is regularly instructed to draft pre-nuptial, mid-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements with a view to limiting future litigation. Isabella also advises on private children matters, including residence and contact disputes as well as leave to remove applications.

Recognising that the breakdown of a relationship affects every person differently, Isabella treats every client as an individual. She is praised for her discrete, sensitive and reassuring presence for her clients while holding firm in the face of opposition.
