Private Wealth, Inheritance and Family Law

Family and inheritance matters range from planning financial arrangements to resolving issues arising from separation, divorce or death. Such matters can be difficult to navigate, both legally and personally, , and all decisions may carry consequences. Early and accurate legal advice provides clarity, reduces risk and lays the foundation for sound, long-term solutions – whether the issue concerns agreements, financial settlements or probate.

We assist clients at every stage of these processes. Our work includes drafting and reviewing agreements, handling inheritance matters and managing financial settlements following separation or divorce, including the division of matrimonial property. Where disagreements or imbalances arise between the parties, we assist in negotiations, private mediation, court mediation and litigation.

Family and inheritance matters often intersect with other areas of law. Tax, corporate structures, real estate and valuation issues frequently arise in cases involving substantial assets, family businesses or complex estates. Our multidisciplinary expertise enables us to combine legal precision with an understanding of the human aspects of these matters.
