Specialist Family Law Barrister – Financial Remedies & Cohabitation Disputes

Stuart Snow specialises in financial remedy and cohabitation disputes. He is recognised for his clear, practical, and commercially astute advice, and is praised for guiding clients through complex financial proceedings with empathy, precision, and strategic insight.

Stuart is described in The Legal 500 (2025) as:

“An exceptional barrister. He is always brilliantly prepared and approaches difficult cases with the same time and care.”

“[He has] a great depth of legal and practical knowledge that reassures clients.”

Stuart works collaboratively with solicitors and places a strong emphasis on achieving negotiated settlements on the best possible terms. He actively encourages the use of Non-Court based Dispute Resolution (NCDR), where suitable. Stuart is known for his calm and confident courtroom presence, meticulous preparation, and robust advocacy.

His practice covers all aspects of financial remedy law, including cases involving substantial assets, business structures, third-party interests, and international elements. He also has extensive experience in cohabitation disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TLATA) and Schedule 1 claims.

Stuart is available for instruction at all stages of proceedings and is committed to resolving disputes efficiently—whether through litigation, arbitration, negotiation, or private Financial Dispute Resolution (FDR). He is approachable, responsible, and focussed on achieving workable outcomes for clients.

Stuart has appeared in the Court of Appeal (Boys & Maugham (a firm) v Moore [2020] EWCA Civ 1860). He also accepts instructions on a direct Public Access basis where appropriate, allowing members of the public to instruct him directly without a solicitor in some cases.
