Spear’s Review
Recommended by numerous peers, with one describing him as ‘highly active and respected’ and one of the ‘most eminent practitioners in family law’, William Massey is head of the family law team at Farrer & Co. He has 30 years of experience and specialises in the financial aspects of relationship breakdown in cases that are often complex, involving international dimensions and valuation, trust and tax issues.
Prenups and postnups continue to be a ‘constant source’ of work for Massey, who has a string of high-profile reported cases to his name. ‘The issues can be very difficult,’ he says. ‘You are advising on a potential divorce and agreeing a divorce settlement at a time when two people are in love with each other and about to get married.’
