Practice areas

Trust and succession planning

We commonly advise on establishing and restructuring trusts, both in England and overseas. We have a wealth of experience in setting up private trust companies, purpose trusts, protectorship vehicles and foundations, all with an eye to relevant tax requirements. We have a particular flair for governance issues arising out of the control and transmission of wealth.

Trust and succession disputes

We manage such disputes efficiently and effectively, whether for settlors/grantors, beneficiaries, trustees or protectors. Before a matter reaches court, we advise on all aspects of dispute resolution and on the respective rights and responsibilities of the parties, on indemnities and risk and on the costs of alternative courses of action.
