Goodman Ray‘s divorce and finance team, led by Trudi Featherstone, is well regarded for handling matters involving complex asset structures spanning trusts, pensions, and health considerations. The team is experienced in representing clients lacking capacity or with neurodiversity, and work closely with litigation friends to protect their interests. Featherstone, a Resolution accredited specialist in advanced financial disputes and private children law, focuses on non-court resolution using her expertise as a mediator and collaborative lawyer to guide high-net-worth clients through financial separations, often with cross-border and tax implications. Thomas Brownrigg, also a mediator and collaborative lawyer, regularly acts in high-value, international cases and is particularly adept at dealing with Spanish assets.
