Our Practices
Private Wealth Disputes
JHA has a fast-growing contentious trusts team representing clients in extremely high-value disputes in relation to complex structures located all over the world. The team has a particular focus on generational wealth preservation, and we have extensive experience acting for high‑profile UHNW families navigating fiercely litigated international inheritance and wealth division matters. As part of this practice, we have also become increasingly involved in questions of trustee oversight and proper exercise of powers.
We act with discretion, responsiveness, and acute sensitivity to the needs of the various family members involved in these matters, adapting our style and pace to protect our clients from counterparties that are often highly adversarial. We exhibit exceptional project management skills, successfully handling multiple concurrent cross-jurisdictional legal teams throughout the lifespan of complex and overlapping proceedings, many of which have significant tax implications in the UK and abroad. Following successful litigation outcomes, our clients have also chosen to instruct us to remain as incumbent trusted advisers to handle ongoing estate administration issues, oversee and coordinate philanthropic obligations, and assist with day-to-day issues they might face with the structures that manage their financial and investment needs.
"Our unrivalled work ethic and unwavering dedication to our clients’ objectives enable us to secure results time after time."
