Praised by peers for her work on children’s cases, Anna Worwood also advises HNWs on complex financial structures – ‘an unusual combination,’ she says. ‘My HNW clients are City lawyers and other City professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs,’ she says. In the past year Worwood has successfully appealed against a decision to refuse her client (the mother) permission to move with her daughter to Iran, and also resolved a dispute in a highprofile international case. ‘The case involved a marriage of more than 50 years during which the parties had built up assets worth hundreds of millions of pounds while living in Africa,’ she explains.
