(Rising stars)Ranked: Tier 1Rose Fetherstonhaugh – 5 Stone Buildings ‘Rose is excellent with clients and delivers advice in a way which is clear and easily understandable. She has an excellent manner and puts clients at ease while instilling confidence. She is excellent at the detail but also adopts a pragmatic and realistic approach to litigation.’
5 Stone Buildings is the ‘go-to set for complex trusts and estates work’ and ‘a superlative set of excellent lawyers whose expertise is beyond doubt’. Penelope Reed KC recently appeared before the Supreme Court in Guest v Guest, a Supreme Court case concerning what relief the courts should provide in proprietary estoppel claims. Turning to the set’s juniors, Ruth Hughes represented the claimant in the Clitheroe v Bond litigation, a dispute between siblings raising complex issues of the correct test for testamentary capacity, and issues regarding testators’ deluded beliefs, while Mathew Roper represented successful claimants who rescinded mis-sold trust products, which purported to protect family homes from care home fee means-testing but instead created capital gains tax problems. Rose Fetherstonhaugh is known for ‘cross-examining witnesses in a very effective matter.’
