‘It’s time we cracked on and made prenups binding’, Deborah Jeff, founder and head of Seddons’ family department, tells Spear’s.

‘If you can say what happens on death in your will, why shouldn’t you be able to say what happens on divorce in your prenup?’ When it comes to the great hive of London divorce, she says, ‘it’s the inter-human skills which set apart those that excel in what they do in our niche of the legal profession.’ Jeff’s attention to the psychological impact of clients’ circumstances distinguishes her from other family lawyers: ‘I’m not aware of any other family lawyer who has taken this approach, and have made it my USP for the benefit of my clients.’
