The firm will cover a variety of practice areas, ranging from non-contentious trusts through to divorce and disputes over high-value artworks.

A new private client law firm, Sinclair Gibson, is being launched in the UK, the firm announced yesterday. Its managing partner is Lucy Gibson, previously an MP at Harcus Sinclair LLP.

The new firm will cover areas such as non-contentious private client tax, trust and estate planning; cross-border property, family and offshore trust issues; litigation on private client matters usually carried out in the High Court or equivalent jurisdictions; disputes over high-value works of art and other chattels, revenue disputes; and domestic and international family matters such as nuptial agreements and family disputes.
