Our goal is to achieve outcomes that protect value, preserve relationships and maintain discretion. The guidance we provide gives you clarity, confidence and calm in challenging times.
A joined-up view
Every dispute is different. We take time to understand the people, structures, facts and intentions behind the conflict before shaping a strategy that aligns your legal, personal and commercial priorities. Our lawyers collaborate across private client, tax, corporate, property and dispute resolution teams – ensuring that solutions are comprehensive and sustainable.
Our experience includes:
- Contentious probate and challenges to the validity of Wills
- Domestic and international trust disputes
- Breach of fiduciary duty and professional negligence claims
- Estate and inheritance disputes between beneficiaries or executors
- Disputes involving family businesses or governance arrangements
- Disputes involving philanthropic, cultural and heritage assets
- Cross-border and offshore litigation, freezing orders and asset tracing
- Tax-related disputes and HMRC investigations.
Wherever possible, we seek to prevent conflict, or resolve it through negotiation or mediation, while maintaining privacy and preserving relationships. When litigation becomes necessary, our team acts decisively and strategically – drawing on our depth of experience before the UK courts and internationally.
