Oxford headquartered law firm Reeds Solicitors LLP (Reeds) has announced the appointment of Sobiah Hussain as the firm’s Head of the Private Family Law practice from Stowe Family Law.

Based in the firm’s Oxford office, Senior Associate Solicitor Sobiah Hussain will lead a team consisting of solicitor Paul Summerbell, Senior Associate Alison Page and Legal Executive Emma McDonald. The Private Family Law practice will work closely with the larger Family Law department across the firm which is headed by Partner James Ferry.  The larger department boasts a proven track record of successfully handling a wide array of cases, ranging from non-traditional partnerships to multi-generational family dynamics.

Sobiah returns to the firm where she trained and qualified after a five-year career path that saw her spend time at Spratt Endoctt Solicitors and RWK Goodman as a family solicitor.  More recently, she spent over two years at Stowe Family Law LLP as a senior associate.

Her practice sees her advising a plethora of clients on a number of private law matters including divorce and separation issues, financial arrangements, disputed between parents in relation o their children and Child Arrangement Orders, and issues relating to domestic abuse including injunctions.

James Ferry, partner and head of Family Law at Reeds Solicitors comments:

“We are delighted to welcome back Siobah Hussain to the family team here at Reeds.  She is an experienced private family law practitioner, and we know that she is the perfect fit for our expansion in this area. I look forward to working closely with her and know that she will succeed in forging a strong private family law practice.”

Jan Matthews, managing partner at Reeds Solicitors added:

“I am thrilled to have Sobiah rejoin the firm and wish her every success in establishing a private family practice here at Reeds.  We recently also welcomed back Caroline Snodgrass in August as we grew our criminal practice. To have solicitors leave to spread their wings and gain further experience in other well-respected firms but ultimately return to Reeds is testament to our team culture here – something we are very proud of!”
