Private Clients, Family Law and Inheritance Disputes

Business relationships can be complex, and the involvement of family dynamics can add further complications, particularly during significant life events such as marriage, divorce, or death. At COBALT, we understand the intricate link between family and business, and we are committed to helping our clients protect both their property and non-property interests in these sensitive contexts.

Collaborating with our Private Clients team, we also provide personalised legal services to high-net-worth individuals in private wealth management, estate planning, and inheritance, including providing assistance in relation to marital agreements and drafting of wills. Our expertise extends to handling large-scale cross-border inheritance cases and designing business succession and continuation schemes.

Our team offers extensive support in disputes related to family law and inheritance, including:

  • Matrimonial advice and disputes – advising on conclusion of prenuptial agreements and addressing property and conflicts arising from marriage or long-term cohabitation, which often involve complex legal implications.
  • Child law cases and child custody matters – advising and providing support in relation to arrangements for children in post-separation cases, child abduction cases and parental responsibility matters, both domestically and internationally.
  • Inheritance advice and disputes – representing clients in negotiations and court proceedings concerning inheritance matters, ensuring equitable solutions.
  • Out-of-court settlements – facilitating negotiations that lead to amicable resolutions, prioritising our clients’ long-term interests.

With a remarkable track record of representing clients in both national and cross-border contexts, COBALT delivers tailored legal solutions, ensuring the seamless integration of family and business considerations. We take pride in our ability to navigate complex disputes and secure outcomes that align with our clients’ personal and financial goals.
