Deepak Nagpal KC

Spear’s Review

Deepak Nagpal KC of 1 King’s Bench Walk advises and acts on behalf of a range of UHNW individuals in complicated matrimonial finance proceedings. His cases often have an international element, involving offshore structures and travel to multiple jurisdictions, and the assets of the barrister’s clients typically exceed £100 million, with some entrepreneurs and tycoons in the region of £1 billion. 

Articulate and known for his sharp intellect, Nagpal became a silk in 2021, and he has appeared in a smattering of landmark decisions which, in many cases, have led to the rewriting of English law.

When he’s not advocating for clients in court, Nagpal often assists wealthy families in private financial dispute resolutions. He is also a member of the Lord Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Private International Law, where he is the only family law silk.
