Solicitor
Spear's Review
One of the most respected family solicitors in London, Debbie Chism is known not only for winning fierce court battles, but also for devising creative out-of-court methods to settle complex disputes. 'It's always best to find a solution that both parties can live with,' she says.
The former Manches partner and Spear's Wealth Management Award winner has spent more than a decade at Stewarts, and has a formidable reputation for working with complex issues that arise from divorce, ranging from asset valuation and business interests to trusts and wealth protection structures.
When previously asked about her clients, she joked with Spear’s, saying, ‘If I were to tell you who I act for, a bit like James Bond and MI6, I’d have to kill you.’ Discretion is a serious business, as her clientele often includes high profile HNWs, as well as one who had ‘the same job as James Bond’ (whose only fear was his soon-to-be ex-wife).
Adviser Profile
Debbie's leading national reputation in family law is built on over 20 years' experience advising high net worth individuals.
Debbie's practice encompasses all aspects of family law (complex asset valuation, business interests, trusts and wealth protection structures). She advises regularly on international pre-nuptial agreements.
One of Debbie's particular areas of expertise is collaborative law, having co-founded England's first multi-disciplinary group of collaborative professionals (Creative Divorce). Clients heap praise on Debbie's approach and creativity in achieving results for her clients – she has been described as being able to 'see solutions that others can't'.
