Spear’s Review

Senior partner Henry Hood, head of the family department at Hunters, is a central pillar in upholding the multidisciplinary firm’s objective to identify clients’ needs and tailor work to each set of circumstances.

He has over 25 years of experience in the sector following a career in commercial litigation. ‘I deal mainly with the financial ramifications of relationship breakdown, or trying to protect against them in terms of prenuptial agreements,’ he says, taking on cases either for one party in the breakup or both under the ‘one couple one lawyer’ collaborative model.

Hood specialises in high-value and high-complexity divorce cases, especially those involving landed estates, and has had considerable success finding liquid assets or income that will satisfy the needs of both parties without breaking up long-held family land.
