Our Private Wealth Dispute Service
Our private wealth disputes team advises on:
Our Private Wealth Disputes Expertise
Private wealth disputes are often about much more than financial assets. They frequently involve family relationships, succession planning, trusts and long-standing personal circumstances, requiring both technical expertise and a pragmatic approach.
Our experienced private wealth disputes lawyers advise on complex, high-value domestic and international disputes involving trusts, estates, family wealth, divorce and business interests.
We recognise that every family's circumstances are different, so we tailor our advice to your objectives while seeking practical, long-term solutions wherever possible.
Many of the matters we handle involve assets held through trusts, companies or other private wealth structures, including investments located across multiple jurisdictions.
As part of the MSI Global Alliance, we work alongside trusted legal and professional advisers worldwide to support clients with cross-border wealth disputes.
Working closely with colleagues across our Private Client Group, including specialists in tax, family law, succession planning and commercial litigation, we provide integrated legal advice that reflects the wider implications of your dispute.
Whether you are contesting a will, resolving a trust dispute, protecting family assets, going through a divorce or dealing with a complex inheritance dispute, our experienced solicitors are here to help.
