An excellent reputation, recommended by clients and peers

The Family law team is recommended by the UK's leading legal directories.

 "This sizeable team has a growing reputation for high net worth ancillary relief matters, but continues to receive particular praise for its strength on children matters, both public and private. It has recently been involved in a number of child abduction cases. Sources appreciate that the firm remains committed to providing a good service to publicly funded clients, while it also ensures that the clients are emotionally supported as well as well represented."
