Recognition
"Toby provided an outstanding service in difficult circumstances."
Chambers UK
"A very established practitioner. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable and an excellent lawyer. He is very thorough, very easy to deal with and bright"
Chambers & Partners High Net Worth
"Toby Yerburgh is a first rate tactician, who keeps a very calm head even in the most difficult and torrid of cases. His years of experience in big money cases shows in his strategic decision making and his ability to hold his nerve when negotiations are on a knife edge."
Legal 500
"A client praises his "strong character," adding: "He comes across as confident, is knowledgeable and is literally available 24/7 to answer a call to put your mind at rest." Another client says he is "an outstanding individual," describing him as "a man of integrity; this is a man who is exceptionally competent.""
Chambers & Partners High Net Worth
"At court, Toby is fantastic at managing clients – ensuring that they know exactly what to expect, answering their questions, talking them through each step of the process and assuaging any fears or anxieties they may have. He never appears rushed or impatient but always, always has time for his clients"

"Toby Yerburgh is great on international issues and appears to see through even tricky cases to the answer"
Legal 500
We carefully negotiated and drafted a prenuptial agreement for a client worth in excess of £100m+. The matter involved various cross-border issues and as with any prenuptial agreement, required detailed consideration and delicate handling. Both parties walked away happy with the agreement and content with the future certainty it sought to create.
We acted for a client in relation to divorce and financial remedy proceedings, following a short and childless marriage, in which we reached a very satisfactory settlement following a private financial dispute resolution hearing. There were cross-border issues and a single joint expert had to be instructed in relation to the husband’s financial services company.
