Irwin Mitchell
The much lauded practitioners comprising Irwin Mitchell’s family department are instructed by entrepreneurs, highly skilled professionals, and CEOs to handle the whole spectrum of family law matters. The team has recently introduced two new service lines- mediation and counselling- and continues to be noted for its strong links to the sports and media world. Hayley Trim heads up the team, splitting her time between Southampton and Chichester, and bringing extensive expertise on nuptial agreements and intergenerational wealth planning to the department. Associate Jelena Korobkova focuses on complex financial matters, while Hannah Braisted assists clients with care arrangements for children. Eugenie Taylor deals with offshore trust structures. Claire Wiseman strengthened the team on the ground with her arrival from the Birmingham office in February 2023.
