Top Recommended Family Lawyers

This year Levison Meltzer Pigott celebrates its 20th anniversary, and when Spear’s catches up with Jeremy Levison, the founding partner is in celebratory mood. ‘I can’t imagine we won’t have a little wine with lunch,’ he says. Levison has been very busy with a number of UHNW divorces with ‘significant international trust issues’. He’s also wise about the course of family law. He refers to the Owens case as ‘an unedifying spectacle’ and is sympathetic about the need for ‘greater recognition for cohabiting couples’, adding: ‘Family law needs to reflect modern family life.’ Other stand-out solicitors at the firm are Simon Pigott, Julian Ribet and Alison Hayes.
