Description
This session will explore the treatment of trusts in the context of international divorce proceedings, including the challenges that arise when family wealth structures intersect with competing legal systems, jurisdictions and matrimonial claims. The discussion is likely to examine how courts approach trust assets in cross-border disputes, the role of trustees and advisers when divorce proceedings involve offshore structures, and the practical and strategic issues that can emerge around disclosure, control, enforcement and asset protection. The session may also consider evolving judicial attitudes, forum selection and the broader implications for private wealth planning and governance.
