I routinely work on claims relating to persons or properties in foreign jurisdictions. Therefore, I  am able to advise on jurisdictional and cases where properties or assets are outside of the UK.  

Some of the types of cases I have experience in include applications for the removal of executors and trustees;forefiture of leases;breach of trust/breach of fiduciary duty claims;estoppel claims, undue influence and constructive trust claims; wordlwide freezing orders; charging orders, interim injunctions, orders for sale;enforcement of foreign judgments;claims involving overseas properties;challenging costs decisions either on appeal or at detailed assessment proceedings.

Some of the recent cases I have worked on include:
