Duncan has a specialist practice exclusively based upon the financial consequences of relationship breakdown (whether following marriage/divorce or unmarried cohabitation).

Duncan's practice is centred on complex financial remedy proceedings usually involving: businesses, farms, inherited wealth, family trusts, assets held abroad, large pensions, significant Personal Injury awards, third parties claiming beneficial interests in matrimonial assets, strike out applications and annulment of sham bankruptcies designed to defeat the other spouse's claim. This includes having a strong understanding of the application within the Family Court of the chancery principles.

His practice in financial work includes cohabitation disputes between unmarried couples under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (‘TLATA’) and financial provision for children under Schedule 1 to the Children Act.
