Richard Wilson and Constance McDonnell

3 Stone Buildings is delighted to announce that Richard Wilson and Constance McDonnell have joined chambers. Both Richard and Constance are recommended as leading juniors for Traditional Chancery in the 2010 edition of Chambers and Partners which describes Richard as "a real solicitors' favourite" and quotes solicitors as describing Constance as "one of the best advocates we've instructed."

Richard's practice encompasses both traditional and commercial chancery work with a particular emphasis on trusts (both onshore and offshore), probate, tax and related professional negligence. He is a member of STEP and ACTAPS and is speaking at the forthcoming Legal Week Trusts and Estates Litigation Forum in Provence, an event of which 3 Stone Buildings is a sponsor. His reported cases include Blackman v. Man [2008] WTLR 389 and S v. T1 [2006] WTLR 1461. He is also co-author of the ‘Trust Litigation Handbook' which is due for publication by Jordans later in 2010.

Constance has a traditional Chancery practice, specialising in contentious trusts and probate, 1975 Act claims, administration of estates and removal of PRs. Her recent reported cases include Raymond Saul & Co (a firm) v Holden [2009] Ch 313 and Caudle v LD Law Ltd [2008] 1 WLR 1540.

The addition of Richard and Constance further strengthens the highly regarded group of contentious trusts and probate practitioners at 3 Stone Buildings and we are looking forward to working with them.
