Experience

• Acts for a respondent husband in High Court proceedings, in which complex arguments of special contribution and post-separation accrual are considered in respect of the husband’s c.£280 million shareholding.
• Acted for the applicant father in Children Act proceedings, in which he was successful in obtaining a 50:50 shared care arrangement. When the father first approached Stewarts he was being denied all contact with the child.
• Acted for the applicant wife in divorce and financial remedy proceedings involving complicated trust structures and deficient disclosure on behalf of the husband. The matter proceeded to final hearing before an arbitrator where a successful outcome was achieved.
• Successfully navigated numerous clients through disclosure, negotiation and eventual settlement without the need for court involvement.

Career
