Our national team supports clients in understanding and resolving the full range of inheritance, estates administration and trust disputes.
Emotions often run high during disputes of this nature, which can make them very challenging and costly. Our focus is always on ensuring the advice we give is clear, pragmatic, and assists clients in achieving favourable and timely outcomes.
Disputes of this nature often involve complex, factual, legal and financial arrangements and where necessary the team is able to call on the breadth of expertise within the business, including private-wealth, tax and commercial law specialists.
