Professional Biography
Nick specialises in advising on complex divorce disputes, particularly involving companies, trusts and issues of foreign law; and on drafting the pre- and post-nuptial agreements which can avoid those disputes. Chambers & Partners describe him as “very practical … a fantastic forensic mind … one of the best you can find in the UK for cross-border pre-nuptial agreements”. For obvious reasons, the identity of his clients is strictly confidential; but he acts for business leaders, celebrities, aristocratic and landed families and other wealthy individuals. He is also instructed on behalf of businesses and trustees wanting to put in place common guidelines for nuptial agreements for their staff or beneficiaries. He is one of the few English practitioners completely comfortable with work involving input from multiple jurisdictions. This means that he is frequently asked to lead a team of lawyers in different countries and navigate the complex issues which result.
