Sinclair Gibson LLP continues to act for a broad array of clients, ranging from successful professionals and landed families, to entrepreneurs and UHNWIs. Henry Hickman leads the department, and specialises in trust matters (both onshore and offshore), and often advises on disputes over closely held family companies, and disputes over inheritance and estates. In addition, Hickman works on executors’ malpractice, and 1975 Act claims. Of note too, is the fact that the firm has built up a significant practice in acting for offshore law firms in Privy Council appeals. Amy Williams is another impressive member of the practice.
