Rising Stars Family Lawyers
Mariko Wilson trained at Anthony Gold under Kim Beatson, and now at FLiP she acts for HNWs, with ‘a particular interest in the tax and pension aspects of divorce’.

They are unimpressed by their lawyer sitting on the fence and are looking for precise, robust and decisive advice,’ she explains. So what makes a good family lawyer? ‘It’s very easy to lose sight of the human impact of our work in the cut and thrust of litigation.
