Family law and divorce law specifically, as with all other aspects of life, have been significantly impacted by recent events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. We discussed what those changes have been and how these are affecting our clients – both at Nedbank Private Wealth and at Stewarts – a legal team we work with and the UK’s leading litigation-only law firm. We also flag what else is on the horizon, not least the upcoming introduction of ‘no fault’ divorce, which is expected to come into effect in Autumn 2021 for England and Wales.
Huw Williams, Private Banker at Nedbank Private Wealth, was joined by:
• Richard Hogwood – Partner, Divorce and Family – Stewarts
• Jenny Duggan – Senior Associate, Divorce and Family – Stewarts
Please watch our 45 minute webinar, which included Jenny and Richard responding to questions posed by our audience at the time.
Note: since the webinar was recorded, the date for the ‘no fault’ divorce law coming into effect has been moved to 6 April 2022.

Richard focuses particularly on negotiating the financial aspects of divorce (and civil partnership dissolution), separation and preparing pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
Often, these matters will have an international element and, with pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements especially, Richard is accustomed to liaising with lawyers in several different jurisdictions. Reflective of his private client background, Richard is also regularly involved in cases involving complex tax and trust issues.
Richard graduated from Oxford University (1997). Upon qualification in 2001, he practised initially as a corporate tax lawyer at Slaughter and May before moving to Speechly Bircham (now Charles Russell Speechlys) as a private client tax and trusts lawyer (and subsequently as a family lawyer). He joined Stewarts in May 2011. The Legal 500 has described Richard as “ferociously clever and very solution focused”.
Richard can be contacted by email at rhogwood@stewartslaw.com.
Jenny has extensive experience in a wide range of high-value cases including those in which orders for interim maintenance, inspection and disclosure orders have been successfully obtained. Jenny also specialises in children matters (involving contact arrangements and applications for leave permanently to remove children from this jurisdiction) and cases in which non-molestation and occupation orders are required. In addition, Jenny regularly works on cases involving the drafting of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
Jenny graduated from the University of Cambridge with a first class degree in Social and Political Sciences before working in the Constitution Directorate at the Ministry of Justice. After completing her Graduate Diploma in Law and Legal Practice Course in London she trained at Manches, qualifying into the family department in September 2011. Jenny joined Stewarts in October 2012.
