Practice Areas

Richard is interested in the full spectrum of family law and his practice focuses on complex matrimonial finance and jurisdiction cases, in which he has extensive expertise.

Career

Richard has been instructed in many of the most complex, difficult and high-profile matrimonial finance cases of the last decade: a large number of them have been reported, and many more have been resolved privately. His clients are frequently ultra high net worth individuals who value his experience in dealing with complex offshore structures and multi-jurisdictional problems.
