Irwin Mitchell's family law practice is predominantly based in London, but key partners Carmel Brown and Toby Hales frequently spend time in Cambridge to handle the needs of local entrepreneurs, landed gentry, senior executives and other high-net-worth individuals. 'Their advice is spot on and their case preparation strong and on the correct tactical path before counsel is even instructed', remarks one barrister. Associate Alexandra Schippers is also recommended by clients.
