Private Wealth Disputes

We advise individuals, families, trustees, beneficiaries, family offices and professional advisers on complex trusts and estates disputes. Acting for high and ultra-high-net-worth clients in the UK and internationally, we help resolve disputes involving wills, trusts, estates and succession - often where significant wealth, cross-border issues or sensitive family dynamics are involved.

Trusts and estates disputes often arise at pivotal moments. We work closely with clients to understand their priorities, develop clear strategies and guide them through challenging situations with confidence.

Our team advises on contentious trusts and probate matters, including will challenges, Inheritance Act claims, trustee and personal representative disputes, breach of trust claims, estate administration issues and Court of Protection matters. Many cases involve international families, offshore structures, foreign assets and competing jurisdictions.

Drawing on expertise across our private wealth specialism, including family, tax, residential real estate and disputes, we provide coordinated advice that reflects the breadth of our clients' affairs. We combine specialist expertise, insight and commercial judgement to help clients navigate complexity with clarity.

While fully equipped to litigate when necessary, we seek to resolve disputes efficiently and discreetly through negotiation, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution wherever appropriate.
