Kirstie McGuigan

Kirstie McGuigan is a partner in our Private Client group. Her particular strength lies in the fact that she specialises in both contentious and non-contentious private client matters, and consequently is able to provide holistic and commercial advice.

Kirstie has particular expertise in the resolution of disputes relating to the formation or administration of trusts and estates both in a UK and international context. She has developed a strong reputation in the market for her involvement in large complex trusts and contested estates matters (including claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, capacity and construction issues), and she advises on Court of Protection matters, as well.

Kirstie also advises on non-contentious matters, advising trustees of trusts of considerable value, and she is experienced in the areas of probate, succession and wills, especially involving multi-jurisdictional assets, landed estates and heritage tax issues. Kirstie acts as a trustee, executor and attorney for many of her clients.
