Contentious private client

Our dedicated contentious private client team has specialist experience in dealing with all types of trust and estates disputes, both on and offshore.

By becoming involved at an early stage and by giving tailored advice, we can provide practical solutions to defuse conflict. When court proceedings cannot be avoided, we ensure that they are conducted professionally, skilfully and as cost effectively as possible.

We recognise that many cases by their very nature involve members of the same family. With our sensitive and careful approach, we aim to ensure that family relationships are preserved throughout.

Our team includes members of the Association of Contentious Trusts and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS) and the Society of Trust and Estates Practitioners (STEP).
