Estate, trust & will disputes

We know how difficult disagreements like this can be. We’re sympathetic and sensitive, while still focused on getting the best result for you. Our clients say we’re cutting edge, with a first-class knowledge and an ability to explain things simply.

Excitingly, the team has grown a great deal in the last year, with four new lawyers joining the team. Lucinda Brown joined us in September to lead our offering in Cambridge, bringing the number of partners in the team to 4, alongside David Catchpole in Norwich, Lucy Howard in Birmingham and Simon Pedley in Manchester. The total number of lawyers in the team now stands at 12, with Tracy Ann Moore joining in Norwich, and both Nicola Warren and Georgie Blears qualifying as associates after training with the firm. This makes our specialist estate, trust and will disputes team one of the largest in the country.

The size and breadth of the team means we can work with clients of all kinds across the country. We act on matters across the whole range of specialisms, including claims under the Inheritance Act, challenges to the validity of wills and lifetime gifts, advising trustees and beneficiaries in relation to their duties and rights, as well as working alongside colleagues across the firm’s private wealth sector practice. We’re highly ranked by the legal directories in each of our respective regions, as well as in London, where we’re listed alongside other big names for this kind of work.
