The team assists trustees, family members and others to pre-empt, avoid and resolve disharmony.
Family governance can be an effective way to pre-empt or assist with the resolution of family disputes. We have worked with families to formulate family charters (the “club rules” by which the family operates): the primary objective is to document the assumptions, understandings and expectations regarding the family’s wealth, business and succession planning generally and, in particular, how this is going to be managed, shared, applied and preserved for the future.
We act for trustees, beneficiaries and members of high net worth families on trust and probate disputes both in the UK and offshore.
MTG Resolution
If you choose not to retain us as your litigation lawyers, we can still help you. MTG Resolution is our litigation consultancy. This service is directed to parties who have not instructed us to act for them in a dispute. We advise them on which lawyers to instruct, how to agree their fees, on strategy when the litigation is not going according to plan and on settlement.
