(Leading partners)Forsters LLP is ‘the best of the best’, with a leading reputation for its work on high-value and multi-jurisdictional disputes. Practice head Roberta Harvey
is ‘a brilliant partner with great work and a relentless work ethic’. Harvey has a first-rate reputation for her work with wealthy individuals, family offices, trustees, protectors, executors and beneficiaries on a broad range of contentious trusts and estate matters. The practice is noted for its ‘particular experience in assisting members of ultra-high-net-worth families in the context of disputes arising from the breakdown in family relationships‘.
