Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Contentious Trusts, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Contentious trusts covers disputes over the creation, interpretation and administration of trusts, including challenges to trustees’ powers, breaches of trust, removal or replacement of trustees, and disputes around executries and claims by or against beneficiaries. A solicitor in this area handles court applications, drafting or responding to pleadings, negotiating settlements, and advising on remedies such as directions, remedial schemes, or vesting orders. Proceedings often involve the High Court in England and may extend to insolvency or professional negligence considerations if trustees’ duties are implicated.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Trust disputes can crystallise where trustees fail to act in the interests of beneficiaries or exceed their powers, risking breaches of trust and potentially personal liability. A solicitor provides professional accountability, handles regulated conduct of litigation, advises on remedies and settlements, and, if needed, coordinates with professional indemnity insurers and regulatory frameworks to protect the client’s position.

Philip Collins

Tagged solicitor Philip Collins

Philip Collins and Jessica Whooley have been exceptional throughout my time with them as a client. After a lengthy and intense Will dispute, Phil and Jess have both worked endlessly and proactively to get a 2 year long settlement over the line. Not only are their legal skills greatly appreciated but what sets them apart is the duty of care they show to their clients. Not only is a process like this financially draining (which they were very mindful of), but also emotionally draining. Jess and Phil were always available to clarify any concerns or listen to my frustrations and act upon them in a rational and professional manner. It really is refreshing to work with solicitors that truly have your best interest at heart and show as much levels of empathy as Jess and Phil have in such a tough industry. Would highly recommend!
