Private client matters are rarely just legal problems. They involve family relationships, personal wealth, business interests and, often, heightened emotion. Decisions made in this space can have long-term financial, personal and intergenerational consequences, particularly where families, businesses and assets intersect.
Hunt & Hunt’s Private Client practice provides clear, considered advice to individuals, families and private enterprises across all stages of life and wealth. We advise on personal structuring, succession, estate planning, family law and dispute resolution, with a strong focus on protecting assets, managing risk and achieving outcomes that are practical, fair and durable.
Our approach is measured and pragmatic. We understand that private client matters often arise at sensitive or transitional moments, separation, incapacity, succession, inheritance or dispute. Our role is to provide calm, strategic guidance, grounded in experience and focused on helping clients make informed decisions with confidence.
We regularly act for high-net-worth individuals, family business owners, professionals and trustees, as well as clients with complex asset structures, intergenerational wealth considerations or cross-border interests. Where appropriate, we work closely with accountants, financial advisers, trustees and other professional advisers to ensure outcomes are coordinated and robust.
Our Private Client practice spans advisory, transactional and dispute work, including:
Two key pillars of our Private Client practice are Wills & Estates and Family Law, each delivered through dedicated specialist teams.
Estate planning is about more than drafting documents. It is about ensuring assets pass as intended, risks are managed, and families are protected, both now and into the future.
Hunt & Hunt advises clients on all aspects of wills and estates, from straightforward arrangements through to complex estate planning involving trusts, blended families, business interests and significant assets. We take the time to understand family dynamics, asset structures and future intentions, tailoring advice to each client’s circumstances rather than relying on generic solutions.
We also act in estate administration and disputes, including contested wills, family provision claims and trustee issues. In these matters, our focus is on resolving disputes efficiently and sensitively, while protecting client interests and minimising cost, delay and conflict where possible.

Family law matters are deeply personal and often emotionally charged. They also carry significant legal and financial risk. Our role is to provide steady, strategic advice that helps clients navigate separation and family change with clarity and confidence.
Hunt & Hunt advises on all aspects of family law, including property settlements, parenting arrangements, financial agreements and spousal maintenance. We act for clients at all stages of the process, from early advice and negotiation through to mediation and, where necessary, litigation.
We approach family law with a strong emphasis on resolution. While we are experienced litigators when matters require it, we are equally focused on achieving outcomes that allow clients to move forward without unnecessary conflict, cost or disruption, particularly where children are involved.

Property law for private clients is rarely just about bricks and mortar, it’s about timing, risk and getting the details right. We advise individuals, families and private investors on residential property purchases and sales, as well as title issues, easements and subdivisions, with a practical focus on spotting problems early and keeping transactions moving smoothly.
