Trusts & Estates Disputes

 

We regularly advise on creating, administering and terminating trusts and other wealth holding structures. We work with trustees, protectors and trust beneficiaries on all aspects of structuring and administration the trusts.

 

We prepare the efficient and required structure for our local and international clients, including various deeds, directions and powers of attorney.
 

We have expertise of dealing with multi-jurisdictional matters and conflicts of laws issues.
 

We have extensive experience of all kinds of disputes relating to trusts, breach of trusts, breach of fiduciary duties and we regularly assist trustees, beneficiaries and others in making applications to court to prevent disputes and how to resolve the associated issues. We understand that these disputes are personal to our clients and that there is often more at stake than just financial interests.

 

Our lawyers deal with the day-to-day management and other issues related to trusts liaising with banks and professional advisors on behalf of trustees, liaising with beneficiaries on behalf of trustees on matters such as income or capital distributions.

 

We work in seamless integrated teams with leading counsels and correspondents to provide the best expertise to our clients. Our network of specialists allows us to act as a single point of contact for you, wherever you might be doing business. We understand how cultural and regulatory differences impact on a transaction or a structure in place and can immediately anticipate potential legal problems.
