What does a family and private client lawyer do?
A family and private client lawyer advises individuals and families on divorce, children, wills, trusts, estates and the protection and succession of personal wealth.
When do you need a family and private client lawyer?
You are likely to need one when a relationship ends, when you plan a will or estate, set up a trust or deal with an inheritance. Taking advice early usually costs less than putting things right later.
How do I find a good family and private client lawyer?
Check that they are qualified or registered to practise in the country concerned, for example with the local bar association or professional body, and that they have handled matters like yours, including any cross-border element. Ask who will do the work, which languages they work in and how they charge before you instruct them. Each family and private client lawyer listed on this page has a profile with their firm, practice areas and contact details, so you can compare them before getting in touch.
How much does a family and private client lawyer cost?
Fees depend on the firm, the experience of the person advising you and how complex the matter is. Firms commonly charge by the hour, a fixed fee for a defined piece of work, or a combination of the two. Ask for a written estimate and the terms of engagement before any work starts.
Do I need a lawyer or an adviser for family & private client matters?
Use a lawyer for legal advice, contracts and anything that may end up before a court or a regulator. Advisers such as accountants, tax advisers and consultants handle compliance, financial and business advice. Many matters need both, which is why Find an Expert lists both, under the Legal and Advisory specialisms.
