Joshua Moger

I am a family lawyer who specialises in acting for high net worth individuals. My practice covers financial remedies on divorce as well as mid and post nuptial agreements, and for cohabitees, financial claims and agreements. My expertise includes all matters relating to the welfare of children, from financial claims to ‘contact’ matters and international child abduction cases.

Our Service

In 2024 I won Family Lawyer of the Year (Partner) at the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards. Leading counsel described me as 'a bold tactician and litigator, unafraid of contentious and difficult legal issues or labyrinthine corporate and financial structures’ and clients referred to a ‘natural calm, wisdom and astute knowledge of human nature (that) makes Josh a most precious guide and ally.’

I am proud to be part of Fladgate’s top ranked Family Team: in 2025 Chambers and Partners awarded us ‘Family Team of the Year’ at their HNW awards, and ranked us as a ‘Tier 1’ Family Team for HNW divorce and financial remedies.

My clients or their spouses/partners may be entrepreneurs, celebrities, trustees, private equity partners, city professionals, bankers, venture capitalists and those in the art world (amongst many others.) They may also be homemaker or breadwinner, mother or father. What they all have in common is that I am passionate about protecting their interests and securing the very best deal for each and every one – and this is at the heart of everything I do. Many of my cases involve an international element or other complexity such as trust structures, offshore assets or dynastic estate planning (UK and abroad).

Outside of work, I am also a governor of my former school, Alleyn’s School, in South-East London.

Accolades

Listed by Spears Wealth Magazine as a ‘protégé’ of Baroness Fiona Shackleton, I was privileged to spend the first ten years of my practice learning from her and some of the country’s pre-eminent family lawyers, representing clients in a number of leading cases that made case law. I have been able to bring that wealth of experience to Fladgate’s incredible Private Wealth offering, giving clients the wrap around service they deserve.

In 2025 Chambers and Partners ranked me as a Tier 2 HNW family lawyer – the only family lawyer under the age of 40 in this category to achieve this. The guide quotes: “Joshua really finds new angles. There is no stone left unturned in a case with him.”, “Joshua Moger is a top next-generation partner. He is a super good technical lawyer. He's really good at the law.” and “Joshua Moger has great client care and he is a real litigator”.
