Luke Richardson – Baker McKenzie

Anthony Poulton, who has been described as ‘the pre-eminent offshore trusts litigator in London’, heads the practice at Baker McKenzie. It is ‘one of top teams in London-based private client disputes’. The group regularly acts in the most major and international trusts disputes with vast experience in co-ordinating actions across borders, and its familiarity with the main international offshore jurisdictions is key to its success. The practice continues to work with the private banks and trust companies operating in the leading offshore jurisdictions. Other important members of this ‘world-class’ team include Gemma Willingham, Yindi Gesinde, and Luke Richardson. In addition, the team works closely with lawyers in its wealth management group to advise on a whole host of other private client matters.
