As a full-service firm, the group ensures cross-department collaboration with its renowned private client and commercial team and has extensive experience in matters with a multi-jurisdictional element.

Another key practitioner is Richard Rigg in Liverpool, who ‘offers straightforward and easily deciphered advice' on all aspects of family law.
