We are a small niche firm of family lawyers based in Mayfair who specialise in Family Law for High Net Worth Individuals.
Our team is made up of experienced Partners and Associates who have trained and worked at leading City and family firms. We have multiple dual-qualified lawyers. Margaret Kelly-Edwards is a collaborative lawyer and mediator. She is also an arbitrator and has sat as a judge in the Family Court.
As we are a small and close-knit team, we pride ourselves on our legal and procedural knowledge (we have over 60 years of combined practice years) and the highly personalised and supportive service we are able to offer our clients. We are selective with the cases we take on, so that we never compromise our service levels. For the clients we do advise, we work collaboratively to ensure our collective experience is used to find the best outcome in their particular circumstances.
We do not pay only lip service to alternative forms of dispute resolution and do our best to avoid contested proceedings because we know how stressful and expensive they can be. However, sometimes court can be the most effective option, and if so, we have the knowledge and experience needed to litigate successfully on behalf of our clients. Each case is different and in line with the personalised service we offer, we work closely with our clients to devise the right overall strategy for them.
Over the years, we have represented people from all walks of life, from elite professionals to entrepreneurs to homemakers in homes with a high net worth. Being based in Central London means many of our clients have international connections and assets all over the world and we have represented people with links to (amongst others) Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Russia, Ukraine, as well as many other countries within Europe, Africa and North and South America.
Whomever we represent, we provide high quality, tailored advice at a competitive price because of our size and the way it means we can work. We are always clear from the outset about potential costs and always keep our clients updated as their cases progress.
We are proud to be recognised for our work in the leading legal directory The Legal 500. The testimonials below are from other legal professionals who we have worked with and against on various cases.
