Nigel Dyer KC

Nigel retired as an advocate in January 2022 after forty years in practice instructed in financial remedy applications. He now works exclusively as a judge or evaluator in private Financial Dispute Resolution hearings (FDRs).

He has been conducting private FDRs since 2016 and to date has evaluated c. 320 cases.

The settlement rate of the cases he has evaluated over the last eight years has been consistently high; on an informal poll c. 85% – 90% of the claims settle on the day of the hearing or shortly thereafter.

The cases he evaluates range across a broad spectrum of financial claims, viz: financial remedy claims post-divorce, as well as Part III and Schedule 1 claims, and applications under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. The asset classes are varied and include: land and investments in the UK and abroad, company interests and business assets, farming operations, on-shore and off-shore pensions and trusts, and wealth held in deferred remuneration and private equity arrangements.

He works principally in London, although he also travels to hearings held in the major legal centres around the country as well as to the Channel Islands and the Cayman Islands.
