‘Anne-Marie’s name is on just about every list of the top family lawyers,’ fellow Dawson Cornwell partner Kate Allen tells Spear’s as we try to track down the busy lawyer. Hutchinson acts in all areas of family law, specialising in child abduction, forced child marriages, and international surrogacy.
‘Celebrities and HNWs lead very complicated lives. You ask them where they live and they say, “Which month?”’ Hutchinson says when we catch up. ‘You end up having meetings with their trust adviser, tax adviser, accountant…’
Recently Hutchinson has acted on behalf of teenagers whose parents are divorcing: ‘Their opinions are very important, and they certainly know their own minds.’
