The role will involve working closely alongside partners and other senior team members, representing a variety of high‑profile, high net‑worth and international clients in cutting‑edge family law matters, from nuptial agreements and wealth‑protection matters to tricky contested financial‑remedy proceedings, cohabitation cases, complex children law matters and domestic‑abuse injunctions.

The team is led by one of the leading international family law experts in the UK, Daniel Eames, ably‑supported by award‑winning up‑and‑coming partners Sarah Green, Felicity Chapman and Pippa Allsop. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside Daniel on his international cases, a number of which have been reported and / or involve novel points of law. Our top‑tier team achieves creative, family‑focused solutions, always acting with the utmost discretion and sensitivity. Our work is exciting, challenging and often at the forefront of developments in family law, nationally and internationally.

We regularly advise international high‑net‑worth, ultra‑high‑net‑worth and high‑profile individuals around the world, entrepreneurs, professionals and their family members, in some of the most complex family law cases in the UK. We are known for specialising in tricky international cases, and cases that are particularly financially and emotionally complex. We support individuals and their family members at all stages of life, with a particular focus on wealth protection, not only in connection with divorce or separation but also at other key life stages, including cohabitation, birth of children and marriage. Our lawyers are all members of Resolution, the family‑law membership organisation committed to resolving family matters in a co‑operative way. The team is recognised by industry professionals and is highly rated in Chambers High Net Worth Guide, Chambers UK, Legal 500 and Spears.
