Sangita Manek

Position

I qualified in 1997 and have spent the majority of that time as a Partner working as a litigator in Private Client Dispute Resolution teams. I have a lot of experience in this area and am ranked in the Legal 500 as “... a real fighter for her clients, who will leave no stone unturned”.

I specialise in contentious probate disputes including disputed Wills, breach of trust claims, administration of estate disputes and claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family & Dependants) Act 1975. I regularly act for high-net-worth individuals and represents large estates both in bringing and defending claims on a full range of services from initial pre-action negotiations through to mediation and if necessary, all the way to trial, regularly dealing with difficult and emotive cases. I also have a special interest in cohabitee disputes (also known as TOLATA claims) in relation to the ownership of property and am often considered the go-to litigator in this area of work, having written extensively about making claims for beneficial interests in property.
