Consultant Solicitor and Mediator
Antony is renowned for his expertise in both financial and child law matters with over 25 years of experience in both divorce settlements and cohabitation disputes.
His practice often involves entrepreneurs, senior executives and directors in both public and private limited companies as well as other high net worth individuals from various professional backgrounds from finance to farming.
As an experienced negotiator and advocate, Antony is known for his pragmatic approach in all aspects of divorce and separation and his ability to cut through the most difficult and seemingly intractable of cases. These include his expertise in matters involving complex corporate and business structures, family-owned businesses and partnerships, pensions (including defined benefit/final salary pension schemes and SIPPs), inherited and pre-marital wealth as well as landed and farming estates where issues of liquidity, valuation and trust arrangements often feature.
Antony is an accredited ‘all-issues’ family Mediator trained in the Resolution Together process which means he can work with clients jointly providing cost-effective, tailored solutions that avoids the adversarial dynamic that can arise on separation.
