Under the leadership of ‘world-class' trusts, inheritance, and legacy disputes expert Michelle Rose, who maintains close relationships with a roster of national charities, entrepreneurial families, and celebrity clients, the team at VWV frequently acts in high-value trust and probate disputes on a national scale. The practice is routinely involved in will and trust validity challenges, as well as 1975 Inheritance Act claims, and it frequently represents clients in professional negligence claims. Alongside cross-border disputes expert Fiona Lawrence, Rose is also frequently appointed as an Independent Administrator in the course of long-running High Court cases between beneficiaries of deadlocked estates. Lawrence, who is well versed in mental capacity work, increasingly handles contentious Court of Protection matters. Contentious probate specialist Julia Hardy is a further key contact.

  • 'Fiona Lawrence is a highly skilled and experienced professional, who from our first communication has impressed me with her vigour and determination in mediating a resolution to a toxic family dispute. Her written communication is outstanding and highly effective.’

  • ‘VWV has a really excellent contentious trusts and estate team with vast experience in probate and trusts disputes. They are often instructed in complex, high value and multi-party disputes. Their calm and thorough approach to the preparation of the case and attention to detail secures some very good outcomes and really reassures their clients that they are in the right hands. The team is led by the wonderful Michelle Rose who is frequently brought in as an independent trustee or personal representative where relations between the existing parties have totally broken down. The frequency with which they are brought into resolve seemingly intractable disputes is testament to the firm’s experience and skill in these sorts of disputes.’
