Toby Atkinson

Spear’s Review

‘Most clients want the same thing – to reach settlement quickly, efficiently and without acrimony – and I work hard to achieve that,’ says Toby Atkinson.

Atkinson credits his calm demeanour, pragmatism and sense of humour as the attributes that have driven his reputation since arriving at Stewarts. Peers say he is also popular with lawyers across the profession, thanks partly to his ability to stay calm ‘in the heat of battle’.

As part of Stewarts’ formidable London-based team, he describes his current practice as reliably international. ‘As the capital has cemented its position as the world’s financial centre, more and more UNHWs have been drawn here,’ he says. ‘That’s led to a growing number of extremely high-value divorce awards.’

Adviser Profile

Toby specialises in all areas of family law, including financial settlement on divorce and arrangements for children after parents separate. Toby’s cases usually have an international dimension, often involving trusts, inherited wealth and family businesses. His clients include entrepreneurs, business owners, City professionals and their spouses/partners. Toby is adept at dealing with highly contested children cases and is experienced in the field of international child abduction, relocation cases and jurisdiction disputes. In one reported case of JC v PC [2021] he acted for the successful father in proceedings to determine the habitual residence of his children following their wrongful retention abroad by the mother.
