About Simon

Simon Bruce is a Partner at Dawson Cornwell who has practised as a solicitor since qualifying in 1986 and has spent more than 35 years working on some of the most complex ultra-high-net-worth matrimonial finance cases to come before the English courts, including six reported Supreme Court decisions and involvement in the landmark Radmacher v Granatino prenuptial agreement case. He advises wealthy clients on financial remedy proceedings and private children disputes, combining robust litigation expertise with a strong commitment to out-of-court resolution as a trained mediator, Collaborative practitioner, and Resolution Accredited Specialist in Big Money cases and Emergency Procedures. A fluent French speaker who handles many international matters, he divides a significant proportion of his time between his client practice and pro bono work at family law clinics, where he advises on child arrangements for clients who cannot afford representation.
