Charlotte Fraser – Farrer & Co

Farrer & Co ‘combines boutique firm client service, with city law quality’. The ‘heavyweight’ team is ‘at the top of its game’ and is ably co-led by Toby Graham and Jeremy Gordon . The department is best known for its work on complex and high-value disputes with an international dimension, which often set legal precedents. It is regularly involved in many of the largest trust and estates disputes, frequently involving values of several billion pounds. The firm’s stable of domestic and international ultra-high-net-worth clients also includes trust companies and fiduciaries. Joanna Poole advises trustees and beneficiaries on the full range of onshore and offshore contentious matters. Charlotte Fraser specialises in international trusts, probate, and succession disputes. Henrietta Mason is another leading member of the group, along with Elizabeth Sainsbury. Tom McPhail also garners praise for his work in this space. Joseph de Lacey left the firm in December 2023 and is now at Fieldfisher.
