Top Recommended Family Lawyers

James Ferguson, who heads up Boodle Hatfield’s family team, brings with him a wealth of expertise accumulated over 37 years of HNW practice.

Peers respect him for being ‘very protective of his clients’. An important case he took on for the wife of a City professional resulted in a ‘manifestly unfair’ prenup being challenged and its financial provision overturned in the High Court. His client was awarded a seven-figure sum.

Ferguson is also proud of his capacity to settle a case outside court using creative solutions and a ‘diverse knowledge’ of the law. ‘But in instances where litigation is necessary, we fight tooth and nail.’
