WILL AND TRUST DISPUTES
How we can help
HOW CAN WE HELP?Whether you are contesting a will, having difficulty with trustees or beneficiaries, or just trying to work out your options under a will or trust, this complex area of law requires professional advice as early as possible to avoid costly disputes.
We are specialists, not generalists.
We are a team of award-winning lawyers with a wealth of experience in resolving the most troublesome issues in trusts and estates, both in domestic and international cases.
Backed up by the experience of our colleagues in our specialist private wealth, property, corporate and charity teams, we also have strong longstanding relationships with charities, accountants, investment advisers and barristers so that we are ready to assemble the most effective team for you and your situation.
Whilst we believe prevention is better than cure, we pride ourselves on being able to prepare you for every outcome, whether through alternative dispute resolution or formal court proceedings.
