James Stewart

Chambers High Net Worth Family Lawyer of the Year 2018, James Stewart is 'warm and engaging' with 'astonishing skills in international financial matters'. James shines in difficult cases that need strategic vision, diligent execution and a motivated, able team.

With a focus on complex family disputes, marital agreements and cases with an international dimension, including claims for financial relief following overseas divorces (Part III), James has become the family lawyer of choice for family offices, trustees and others who find themselves embroiled in complex English divorce and family proceedings.

A leading QC describes James as 'undoubtedly one of the leaders in family law globally'. He has successfully acted in many ground-breaking cases including Clibbery v Allan, to date the only family case to go to the Court of Appeal on the issue of privacy and press reporting. He strives to provide his clients with discreet and fair solutions to the problems arising on marital breakdown.

James is a Fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL) and general editor of the definitive publication on comparative international family law, Family Law: A Global Guide (Thomson Reuters). Dual-qualified in England and Northern Ireland, James chairs the Annual Legal Dinner.

Suzanne Kingston

With over 30 years' experience advising clients ranging from business owners to high-profile individuals, Suzanne knows one-size does not fit all. She takes time to understand what clients are looking to achieve.

As an arbitrator, Suzanne was able to provide a couple with a quick, certain and private resolution to their dispute all with the benefit of a fixed fee. Resolving the same dispute through the courts would have taken years with escalating costs.

Regularly helping clients to implement wealth protection strategies, Suzanne recently co-ordinated advice from five countries to successfully negotiate a pre-nuptial agreement protecting assets worth over £2billion.
