Top Recommended Family Lawyers

‘Magnus Mill is your perfect lawyer,’ says one industry colleague, who praises him for seeing cases through cost-effectively, with minimal stress and absolute discretion.

The AFP partner handles all aspects of family law for HNWs, and is involved in matters of unique complexity. A recent case involved complex offshore trusts as well as an enormous private art collection; in this instance, Mill coordinated lawyers, accountants and valuation experts from Switzerland and from North and South America, and deployed a level head to manage the acrimony between the couple involved.

Another speciality for Mill is cohabitation cases, which are often ‘hard fought’ due to the lack of clarity in the law. ‘If society as a whole knew what the situation was as to the outcomes of cohabitation, people would make very different choices,’ he says. The whole area needs revision, he adds, and public awareness of the issue would, in Mill’s opinion, be a good place to start.

Mill has only been at this much-lauded niche firm since 2015, but his natural diligence has seen his profile rise exponentially among peers.
