Naomi O’Higgins—Howard Kennedy

Howard Kennedy has strengthened its contentious private client team with the appointment of partner Naomi O’Higgins.

Naomi joined Howard Kennedy’s 12-strong private client team from boutique private client firm Harcus Sinclair, where she was an associate.

Naomi is a litigator who brings to the firm a strong reputation and track record in advising families, individuals, trustees and beneficiaries in relation to domestic and offshore trusts and probate disputes. She also has experience of acting on Court of Protection work, disputes surrounding the appointment and actions of attorneys and other matters concerning people lacking the capacity to manage their own affairs.

Naomi says: “Howard Kennedy has a terrific reputation in acting for senior executives, investors, artists, entertainers, sports people and high value private clients. The firm is looking to expand its contentious private client offering, particularly its offshore expertise, and I am thrilled to be joining the team.” 

Liz Palmer, partner and head of private client at Howard Kennedy, says: “Naomi has a first class track record and strong technical knowledge. She will be a real asset to the team and we look forward to working alongside her.”
