Why choose our Trust, Estate and Inheritance Litigation lawyers?

We act in claims by and against trustees, claims against third parties (including financial advisers), estate disputes (for and against both beneficiaries and executors / administrators) and in non-contentious applications to vary trusts.

Together with our dedicated Tax Litigation department, we are also ideally placed to advise on applications to rectify or rescind trust deeds which have caused unintended tax consequences, and can call on our Professional Negligence team to pursue claims against previous advisers.

Our team comprises of experts in trust and estate litigation, tax litigation, and non-contentious private client and tax. The team includes non-contentious private client and tax experts so that clients benefit from the breadth of expertise they provide, and so that the implications of the potential outcome of any dispute can be factored in, and managed, at an early stage.
