Protecting family wealth across borders and generations: Mishcon Private in UK Private Wealth Magazine

Mishcon de Reya lawyers have contributed two articles to the latest edition of UK Private Wealth Magazine.

Victoria Pigott, Partner and Chair of Mishcon Private, examines why conflict resolution should form part of the planning process for internationally mobile families. She discusses governing law and jurisdiction, the choice between litigation and arbitration, and the challenges of enforcing judgments and awards across borders. The article explains how careful planning can preserve a family’s options and help avoid expensive disputes over where and how proceedings should take place.

James Hamilton, Legal Director in the Private Wealth & Capital group, and Steven Haywood, Corporate Partner, who leads the firm’s private funds practice, explore why family succession should be designed as an ongoing system supported by effective governance. They consider how ownership, control, management, information and family values can be transferred across generations, and how clear governance can protect family relationships and wealth while providing a practical framework for the next generation.
