Fakhruddin Maimoon

Fakhruddin is primarily based in the Private Client Team in the Manchester office but deals with both contentious and non-contentious matters. He advises on Inheritance Act claims, disputes in relation to Wills and Trusts, and claims against Executors and Trustees. Fakhruddin previously worked at a top tier international law firm gaining invaluable experience in commercial litigation. At his time there, he worked in-house for a large insurer client which meant that he was able to understand and appreciate how his client operates and their requirements. He most recently worked for a South Cheshire boutique practice advising in all areas of private client matters. Fakhruddin has many attributes but what makes him stand out is his personable nature and his ability to provide a practical approach whilst ensuring the best possible solution is found for each of his clients.

Felicity Chapman

I’m a Partner in Michelmores’ Family team. I advise clients including families with dynastic wealth, entrepreneurs, business owners and their spouses on a range of Family Law issues. I frequently advise clients in relation to wealth protection and planning, working with colleagues in other teams to consider the family law implications of their situation, the structures and plans they are putting in place and providing holistic advice. This includes preparing pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements and generally helping clients to understand their legal position and options. I represent clients in divorce proceedings and the associated financial arrangements through voluntary negotiations, court proceedings and various out-of-court processes including arbitration, “private FDRs” and through the Collaborative process. My work may involve representing a spouse/civil partner or a connected third party such as a family member or trustees. I am particularly experienced in representing high net worth clients in cases involving complex business assets, pensions and trusts. I advise unmarried individuals on cohabitation and separation. I also represent clients in relation to arrangements for children including decisions about where and with whom children should live, the time to be spent with each parent and other important decisions such as choice of school. I am experienced in dealing with complex cases where there are parallel criminal issues, allegations of domestic abuse and the involvement of wider professionals. I am committed to ensuring that my clients feel supported and that they receive practical, pragmatic advice on their situation in order to make informed decisions about their future and to be able to move forward with their lives. I will always look for a way to resolve matters amicably and by agreement, though I have a wealth of experience of representing clients both in and out of court where agreement is not possible.
