Experience
- Assisted with a complex, international financial remedies case, acting for one of the main parties which involved a family business where the assets were worth several billion dollars, which settled confidentially during an extensive High Court trial. The case involved complex international trust arguments.
- Assisted with a financial remedies case, acting for the husband whose privately owned business was of very significant value and was at the centre of a fully contested High Court trial. This case also involved complicated valuation and liquidity issues.
- Acted for the mother in her successful application to relocate from south-east England to Yorkshire with her child.
- Assisted with a financial remedies case acting for a party who had significant pre-acquired wealth, including a substantial art collection.
- Advising in the preparation of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements involving substantial assets.
