Gavin Yeung

Associate Solicitor

I am an Associate Solicitor at Crane & Staples.  I joined the Family Team in June 2025.

I read law at University College London and completed the LPC at the College of Law, earning a Distinction.  I qualified as a solicitor in 2018, joining a boutique family firm in the city, specialising in divorce and financial matters, often with an international element.

I specialise in the full range of issues that can flow from the breakdown of a relationship, including:

  • Dissolution of a divorce or civil partnership;
  • Financial disputes involving pensions, high net worth assets both in this jurisdiction and abroad
  • Assisting with arrangements for negotiating and formalising a financial settlement without the need for costly court proceedings;
  • Pre- and post-nuptial agreements;
  • Arrangements for children after the breakdown of a relationship, whether through Court proceedings or other methods of dispute resolution;
  • Court applications for the relocation of children, both within this jurisdiction and to other countries;

I take pride in guiding clients through what can often be a challenging and stressful time. I enjoy the variety of matters I deal with and the opportunity to provide clear, practical support when it's needed most.

Outside the Office

I am a bit of a cinephile, enjoy travelling, and taking (very slow) walks with my English bulldog, Kuma.  My favourite sport is badminton.
