Richard obtained a first class degree in law in 1993 and qualified as a solicitor in 1996. He has subsequently established himself as one of the leading family lawyers in Shropshire, North Wales and the North West.
Richard’s wealth of knowledge and experience in these areas has led to him to being involved in a number of notable cases. His typical clients are high net worth individuals with significant assets both in the UK and offshore. He regularly acts for business directors and shareholders, farmers, landowners, professionals or their spouses. Typically, the financial structure of the relationship is complex, with his cases often involving trusts, business assets, self-invested pensions and assets located outside the UK.
Richard’s client skills, his ability to get to the core issues and his robust and commercial advice has seen his reputation burgeon in the marketplace and the overwhelming majority of Richard’s clients come from former clients or professional referrals.
He is a fully trained collaborative lawyer and was instrumental in establishing a collaborative group in the Black Country. He brings the same passion and energy for collaborative resolution to Chester’s already established collaborative law scene.
