Spear's Review

Simon Webster’s practice at 1 Hare Court focuses on large and complex financial remedy cases, typically with an international profile and cross-border jurisdiction issues. He also specialises in financial claims on behalf of children (Schedule 1), claims concerning property ownership after relationship breakdown, and disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act.

Regularly instructed by leading family firms in London, Webster has appeared in the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and High Court. 

Notable cases include Thakkar v Thakkar (2017) – a preliminary issue hearing to determine ownership of a billion-dollar company; Goddard-Watts v Goddard-Watts (2016) – a rehearing of financial remedy claims; and Wyatt v Vince (2015) – on striking out remedy claims on the basis of jurisdiction.
