Family disputes in the private wealth context are rarely driven by legal issues alone. This interactive session will explore the underlying causes of conflict - from perceived favouritism and unequal treatment to dashed expectations, complex family dynamics, generational differences, and communication breakdowns. From a private wealth litigator’s perspective, the panel will also discuss practical ways advisers can help de-escalate tensions, including managing client expectations, encouraging clearer communication, and addressing sensitive issues in a proportionate and constructive way.
