Position
Ben is a Partner in the Will and Trust Disputes team, having joined in December 2020 from heading up the Wil and Trust Disputes team at another regional firm.

Since joining the team Ben has dealt with a number of high value and complex matters, often involving assets in multiple jurisdictions.
