Ranking tables

Family/Matrimonial Finance: High Net Worth | High Net Worth

UK-wide

These tables are focused on matrimonial finance work, and the rankings are divided into High Net Worth and Ultra High Net Worth lists. We also cover public and private law children work, including international child abduction cases, in the Chambers UK Solicitors guide's Family/Children category.

Firms in the Ultra High Net Worth category regularly handle matrimonial finance matters where the assets in dispute exceed ÂŁ50-100 million. They also work on matters of lower value but possess the capacity regularly to handle the highest value cases, including work for billionaire clients and international Royal families.

Firms in the High Net Worth category may on occasion also handle divorce and separation matters or nuptial agreements where the relevant assets exceed ÂŁ50-100 million, but are more regularly employed in matters valued between ÂŁ5-50 million.

All the firms ranked in both tables are able to advise on matters involving significant complexity, including cross-border divorce and separation matters and pre- and post-nuptial agreements for wealthy clients.
