The team has experience handling pre- and postnuptial agreements involving domestic and offshore assets, and it regularly draws on firmwide strengths in corporate, employment, and private wealth matters to negotiate divorce settlements involving business structures, trusts, bankruptcy issues, and pension funds. Bristol-based lawyer Gareth Schofield, who is noted for his experience with unmarried family and cross-border financial remedy disputes, co-heads the team with Taunton-based cohabitation and child arrangements expert Philippa Yeo. Yeo is also well-versed in agricultural financial remedy matters.
