Ranking tables

Family/Matrimonial Finance: High Net Worth | UK

London (Firms)

These tables are focused on matrimonial finance work, and the rankings are divided into High Net Worth and Ultra High Net Worth lists. Firms in the Ultra High Net Worth category regularly handle matrimonial finance matters where the assets in dispute exceed ÂŁ50-100 million. They also work on matters of lower value but possess the capacity regularly to handle the highest value cases, including work for billionaire clients and international Royal families. Firms in the High Net Worth category may on occasion also handle divorce and separation matters or nuptial agreements where the relevant assets exceed ÂŁ50-100 million, but are more regularly employed in matters valued between ÂŁ5-50 million. All the firms ranked in either table are able to advise on matters involving significant complexity, including cross-border divorce and separation matters and pre- and post-nuptial agreements for wealthy clients. We consider some Children Act work here where it is undertaken in relation to HNW/UHNW clients, however there is also a separate Family/Children Law table for London as well as UK-wide tables covering public law matters and cross-border disputes relating to international abduction, adoption and surrogacy.
