Richard Walker

Richard is a consultant in the trust, estate and inheritance disputes team.

He advises successful and HNW individuals, families, professional fiduciaries and charities on domestic and international private wealth disputes (or on how to minimise the risk of these disputes, which often arise at a difficult time where the context is the death or declining capacity of a family member or rifts in a family regarding business succession or expectations as to inheritance).

Prior to joining Withers, where he trained, Richard interned at the United Nations in Geneva, assisting with the periodic appraisal of member states by the Human Rights Council. He also worked as a Legal Advisor for a leading international commercial property developer, with particular responsibility for retail assets in England and Northern Ireland. Richard has also taught the law of trusts at King's College London, University College London and the School of Oriental and African Studies.
