Ten Old Square is universally renowned for its private client work.
We are consistently ranked as one of the top private client sets in Chambers UK, Chambers HNW and The Legal 500. We have won Chambers of the Year at the STEP Private Client Awards twice.
Many of our barristers are also individually ranked, with multiple ‘Star Individual’ and ‘Band 1’ rankings.
Chambers UK Bar Guide states:
Ten Old Square remains a premier set for handling trusts, probate and estates matters. The bench strength at the set is highlighted as a particular asset, with one interviewee commenting: “The set has a strong set of barristers who between them are able to advise on the full range of chancery matters.” An impressed source echoes this, adding: “They are truly a specialist set for this sort of work, and a ‘go-to’ for high-value or complicated trust or probate litigation. Within that team they certainly have breadth of knowledge.”
Many of our barristers are specialists in related fields such as Court of Protection, Contentious Trusts and Estates, Partnerships, Property and Tax. This means we can provide a comprehensive service at the highest level of expertise for all matters relating to trusts and estates.
Ten Old Square hosts the London Trusts Conference, and our members give regular seminars to other professionals in this area throughout the year.
For more information or to instruct our barristers, please contact our clerks.
Our private client barristers are among the leading experts in all aspects of private client work, including advice, drafting and applications to court in respect of trusts, wills, estates and other private client matters (both in the UK and in offshore trust jurisdictions). This includes:
Our barristers also advise on the taxation of trusts and estates: please see our Tax page for more details.
Our barristers author some of the leading textbooks in this field, including Williams on Wills (11th edition, 2021), Rossdale on Probate and Administration of Estates (online) and Mellows: Taxation for Executors and Trustees (online). Simon Taube KC, Susannah Meadway and Richard Dew are also members of the influential Trust Law Committee, and Richard Dew is the editor of Private Client Business.
