Case study 1
Lauren recently acted for the wife of a CEO of an international company. The parties lived a global lifestyle with homes in the UK, USA and elsewhere in Europe. The assets were highly complex and worth over ¬£100m, including business assets in multiple jurisdictions, a US trust and multiple US properties. The key issues were privacy for the family, coordinating corporate advice from multiple jurisdictions, re-negotiating shareholders‘ agreements to protect the client‘s interests, trusts advice to ensure the children were financially provided for and international tax planning at every stage. The client also benefitted from specialist advice from our Immigration team.

Case study 2
Lauren recently acted for a wife whose husband is the beneficiary of several family trusts, both onshore and offshore. The client worked within her husband‘s family‘s property investment business, which involves complex corporate structures and joint venture agreements. The client was also advised by our Contentious Trusts team in relation to allegations of breach of trust. Lauren ensured a joined-up strategy to achieve the best financial settlement for the client while also disentangling her from her husband‘s family trusts and businesses and protecting her from potential future liability.
