About Us

King and Collins is renowned for its expertise in handling complex family wealth disputes and litigation, particularly those involving family trusts, intergenerational business and wealth transition, deceased estates, as well as commercial and business-related conflicts. Our comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics at play in such disputes allows us to approach each case with a strategy tailored to the unique needs of our clients. When parties are close to or already in disagreement, our primary objective is to comprehend the underlying family or commercial dynamics. We endeavour to resolve disputes privately and discreetly, aiming for a prompt resolution that preserves crucial relationships. In matters of family wealth transfer, we strongly advocate for preemptive measures to prevent disharmony, understanding that foresight is far preferable to remedial action. This philosophy extends to commercial disputes as well. Our team draws on extensive experience to assist clients in structuring their family and commercial relationships, succession plans, and wealth transfers. Our forward-thinking strategy is designed to circumvent potential conflicts before they arise. While litigation is considered a measure of last resort, we approach it with determination, intelligence, efficiency, and sensitivity when it becomes necessary. Our commitment to our clients is unwavering, ensuring we represent their interests with the utmost zeal and care.
