About

Provided by Mishcon de Reya LLP

Issues around cohabitation, divorce, enforcement of orders and agreements, financial applications, International High Net Worth, litigation Funding, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and issues regarding trusts in family cases.


Where relationships break down, we understand how this not only affects a family but also third parties, including corporations and trustees, many of whom are international. Our ability to unpick the intricacies of cross-border relationship breakdown and work with lawyers and advisors in other countries ensures that difficult matters are dealt with smoothly.


We appreciate the complexity that wealth brings and assist our high net worth clients and their families through all life stages. We are innovators, leveraging new technologies and utilising non-traditional methods to deliver the best outcome to our clients. We are robust in our advice and tenacious in our approach. We handle every matter with the utmost discretion, a given in any situation, but even more so because many of our clients are high-profile and often in the public eye.


Work Highlights:

  • Wyatt v Vince - Acting for the successful wife in the Supreme Court in Wyatt v Vince, financial remedy proceedings brought almost 30 years following the parties' separation and 19 years since their divorce.
  • Jones v Jones - Acting for the successful wife in the Court of Appeal in Jones v Jones, one of the leading cases on the treatment of re-acquired wealth.
