Roberta Harvey
Spear’s Review
Roberta Harvey, head of the contentious trusts and estates team at Forsters, is widely recognised by her peers as being a leading practitioner in her field.
Harvey’s clients largely consist of high- and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, trustees, family offices, executors and beneficiaries of contested estates. She deals with a wide variety of issues relating to trusts, including freezing orders, asset tracing and retrieval, validity, breach of trust and estate disputes.
Harvey has a reputation for acting in her clients’ interests above all else, avoiding court and using mediation where possible. However, she is always prepared to pursue a trial solution whenever it is necessary. A recognised voice in the industry, Harvey is often called upon to speak at industry and academic legal conferences.
