Gwynfor Evans specialises in financial remedies (MCA 1973 and CA 1989 Schedule 1), trusts of land (TLATA), proprietary estoppel, and probate / inheritance disputes. His financial remedy work often involves international dimensions, companies, partnerships and third parties.
Gwynfor’s background in IT (particularly database design and programming) enables him to present complex financial matters in a simple way using modern technology. He has a pedantic eye for detail, and an ability to present complicated arguments about e.g. pension sharing or the structuring of Schedule 1 / TLATA claims, in an orderly and simple fashion.
Gwynfor is down-to-earth and approachable with clients, whilst being precise, thorough and tenacious with opponents. Gwynfor has a knack for achieving excellent results whilst maintaining a good humour at trial, and for finding creative solutions, where appropriate, in negotiated outcomes.
Gwynfor sits as a Deputy District Judge on the South Eastern Circuit (civil and family) and also offers pFDRs in financial remedy disputes / early neutral evaluation (ENE) in TLATA disputes.
Call: 2007.
