Top Recommended Family Lawyers

Sam Longworth says joining Stewarts in 2007 was the best career decision he’s made. Back then it was a relatively unknown boutique firm. More than a decade on, Longworth reports ‘an exceptional year, with victories in court including the Court of Appeal, a variety of instructions from, clients old and new, ‘some excellent settlements’ and a ‘very high asset’ case worth billions.

‘HNWs have a huge choice,’ he notes, ‘and want to be able to access a variety of advisers.’ As a result, he says family lawyers have to expand their little black books. ‘Your clients still pick up the phone to you when they need someone.’
