Radcliffe Chambers has ‘an extremely strong breadth of counsel, from up and coming juniors to silks contesting trust and estate work’. Thomas Dumont KC  and Edward Hicks   represented adult children who overturned gifts of £650,000 in their late father's will, the father having lost testamentary practice during the drafting of a will. Hicks also acted for the widow of the deceased in a case where a solicitor executor sought to have her removed as co-executor on the basis of an alleged conflict of interest, on the grounds that she has a potential Inheritance Act claim (the estate going directly to the children under the will), while Josh Lewison  secured summary judgment for a group of cancer charities, defending a challenge by a woman to her late father's will on the challenge the grounds of fraud, undue influence and lack of capacity.
