Welcome to the first 2025 edition of our Matter of Trust newsletter - on topics and news from the Mishcon Private department on a range of subjects relevant to fiduciaries.
This edition includes: a discussion of the recent Supreme Court case of Hirachand v Hirachand on success fees in family provision claims; a discussion of the importance of careful succession planning where family businesses are involved; and a discussion about how to navigate cohabitation for unmarried couples. We also take the opportunity to highlight an upcoming event through our Academy at which Private Wealth Disputes Managing Associate Emily Bueno will be interviewing bestselling author Hallie Rubenhold.
We hope that you enjoy this edition and welcome your feedback. If there is anything in this newsletter that you wish to discuss further, please don't hesitate to contact a member of the Private Wealth Disputes or the Private Wealth and Tax team.
