Case studies
In 2022 we successfully settled a complex dispute for a client residing in China. Following the death of a relative who resided in the UK, we were not only able to manage and issue the claim on their behalf, but we were also able to facilitate a remote mediation across two time zones. We secured a successful settlement for the client and all parties were able to conclude matters efficiently and effectively.
This year, we have been assisting a client who resides in Italy in both applying for probate and handling a claim against the estate. Our client has been be able to defend the claim without being negatively impacted by their residence outside of the UK and we continue to assist her in doing so.
