Top Recommended Family Lawyers

Emily Brand focuses on high-level financial work and complex children disputes (with special expertise in relation to children with autism). Her practice is largely international and includes recent cases with clients from the Middle East and South America. She is highly attuned to the need for complete discretion and negotiations taking place ‘behind closed doors’.

Brand thinks the English court system ‘has served us well’ but there are ways it could be improved. Coronavirus, despite the havoc it has wreaked, has the potential to affect family law positively: ‘Covid-19 is forcing court systems to update digital systems, which will help people with young families prove that they can work flexibly. No one should be disbarred from any role because they are a woman or a mother.’
