What do others say

“Needless to say we're absolutely delighted and relieved at the news but recognise that this would not have happened without all your unfailing support and forbearance - thank you so very much for all your efforts on our behalf”.

“Thank you for your fantastic insights on the issues early on and for providing calm, measured, tactical advice throughout”.

Supporting your ambitions

One of Kim’s highlights includes acting for a professional trustee in a litigated, high value, multi-trust dispute, which involved numerous complex allegations spanning a long time period. 

Kim recently acted for a beneficiary of an estate in relation to an application to remove the executor who had taken no action in respect of the estate administration.  This included the realisation of the estate assets for her beneficiary client.  The application was successful after a contested hearing and costs were awarded to her client.
