Our story...

ThoughtLeaders4 are serious about providing opportunities to up-and-coming practitioners specialising in HNW Divorce. We strongly believe that the next generation of practitioners should be writing, speaking at and attending events in order to build their network and further their careers.

With this in mind, we are proud to present the 2nd HNW Divorce NextGen Future Thought Leaders Essay Competition. Assessed by an illustriously experienced, senior and broad-ranging panel of practitioners this is your chance to stick your head above the parapet and mark yourself as the one-to-watch. With the opportunity to attend and discuss your essay at our HNW Divorce Litigation Flagship Conference, we look forward to your submissions and to welcoming you to the HNW Divorce community.

The Essay Topic:

Matrimonialisation: a mis-step too far?

In the run-up to our HNW Divorce conference on 21st November 2024 in London, we invite submissions from next gen practitioners on this topical debate.

We encourage you to set out your personal views and thoughts on the current law and its potential future direction and to draw on your own or your colleagues’ experiences.

We also invite you to be creative, well-researched, opinionated, and take a position on this timely issue, affecting the next generation of divorce practitioners.
