Matthew Heyworth

Spear's Review

As a partner at Mills & Reeve in Oxford, Matthew Heyworth covers all aspects of family law, with a particular specialism in complex financial structures.

Known for his strategic and meticulous approach, he regularly advises on divorce cases involving business interests, trusts, complex disclosure and foreign assets. Clients are typically HNWs who either own shares in a company or are part of a family-owned business. 

Successful cases include helping a celebrity agent successfully challenge the terms of a prenuptial agreement concerning assets over £10 million, and guiding an entrepreneur through divorce proceedings while he was preparing to sell his company for around £100 million. 

While Heyworth finds himself at home in the courtroom, he only litigates where absolutely necessary. ‘The vast majority of my cases are settled by agreement,’ he tells Spear’s. ‘Even if they start off as quite acrimonious.’
