Legal support for businesses
We understand the huge impact divorcing or separating from a partner can have on many lives, not just those directly affected. Many of our clients are also business owners, leaders or founders so it is important to make sure that all legal aspects are ‘joined up’ when family relationships break down. Our approach to supporting individuals and businesses is highly collaborative, including in the Family & relationships team which many clients appreciate and value.
Kirsty has considerable experience advising family clients in cases which involve businesses, trusts, drafting and advising on nuptial agreements, and third-party interests in land. She manages complex family issues such as post-separation accrual, legal cost allowances, jurisdictional forums, special contribution arguments and clients with catastrophic injury within divorce.
Offshore legal advice
Her client base is varied and often includes leading individuals within offshore law firms, global investment banks, corporate services, world leading medical practitioners and multinational professional services networks.
Kirsty is committed to providing tailored solutions for her clients and considering alternative strategies, including out of court resolution. She is a meticulous problem-solver and is often praised for thinking outside the box. She is also renowned and respected for her approachability, empathy and ability to create solutions to complex family disputes.
