Dominic is the head of our Contentious Probate department and an accredited mediator. Since qualifying as a solicitor, he has specialised in all types of trust and estate disputes, assisting clients and companies with disputes about trusts, wills, estates, and the conduct of trustees and attorneys.
He advises on the grounds on which wills can be challenged, claims for provision from estates, proprietary estoppel claims (broken promises), incorrect administration of estates or trusts, poor conduct by personal representatives and trustees, and unlawful actions by attorneys.
Dominic takes pride in identifying issues and options at an early stage of a matter, and in being transparent and easy to understand about the current position, the merits and the options available, including how the outcomes might look for his clients. He takes the same approach as a mediator, helping parties come together to find simple and cost-effective solutions.
