“One of the best legal minds at the family Bar”
“Nicholas focuses on the financial side of relationship dissolution. He leads high and ultra-high net-worth financial remedy cases often involving complex trust and business structures, nuptial agreements and jurisdiction disputes. He is widely recognised to be one of the leaders in his field.”
Strengths:
“He’s hugely knowledgeable and quick on his feet.”
“He’s thoughtful and firm on behalf of the client, but also accessible and amenable during discussions.”
“A persuasive, smooth advocate who fights hard in court but also takes the heat out of cases.”
“Nicholas is calmness personified. He is strategically excellent, and can explain complex legal concepts to lay clients in a clear and effective way.”
“Nicholas transforms the most complex problems into clear, accessible and pragmatic advice for clients. He is always immaculately prepared and is a compelling advocate with an exceptional ability to read the tribunal.”
Nicholas was called to the Bar in 1996 after graduating from Trinity College, Cambridge.
He has represented a number of well-known celebrities, FTSE 100 CEOs, royalty and others in the public eye.
Described as “an exceptionally persuasive advocate”, “astonishingly good” and “incredible on his feet” (by Chambers & Partners), his “combination of emotional intelligence, intellectual rigour and charming and persuasive advocacy puts him in a league apart” (The Legal 500). In one edition of The Legal 500 they described him as having “one of the best legal minds at the family Bar”.
Nicholas specialises in financial remedy cases (including Civil Partnership and Schedule 1 claims) involving substantial assets, complex company valuations, trusts, tax issues and international dimensions.
He also drafts nuptial agreements and advises on their enforceability, as well as representing clients on jurisdiction matters, marriage/non-marriage cases and Inheritance Act claims.
Nicholas is highly regarded by the professionals with whom he works and is quick to establish a solid rapport with his clients to achieve their goals in a straightforward, timely and cost-efficient way.
He is well-known for his negotiation skills and the quality of his written and oral arguments, as well the numeracy within his financial presentations.
His international practice has included work in Jersey, France, Macau and he often appears in The Cayman Islands, where he has also been called (ad hoc) to the Bar, including in the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal. He has also been called to the Bar in The British Virgin Islands.
He has also given expert evidence as to English law in foreign jurisdictions.
