Private Wealth Disputes

Issues around inheritance, wills, trusts or mental capacity can bring discord to families in jurisdictions across the world; with one of the largest Private Wealth Disputes teams in the country, we can advise on all challenges that a client might face.

We can advise trustees, protectors and executors who may find themselves the subject of attack by dissatisfied beneficiaries or needing advice to steer the right course.

We can handle any situation where there is a potential dispute regarding a trust, estate, will or succession matter, both domestic and cross-border, working with and co-ordinating lawyers from other jurisdictions as necessary. We are involved in many trust and inheritance disputes not only in England but also offshore jurisdictions including Cayman, Bermuda, BVI, the Bahamas, Nevis, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Channel Islands, Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand, amongst others.

We work with our colleagues from across Mishcon Private to efficiently deal with specialised issues including tax and structuring, reputation, family matters or art and luxury assets.
