AFP Bloom was built as a modern alternative to traditional family law firms. Its origins lie in Alexiou Fisher Phillips, one of London’s original specialist family law boutiques. Founded in 2001. The firm quickly developed a reputation for advising high net worth individuals and public figures on complex separations. In 2024, Alexiou Fisher Phillips merged with BloomBudd, to create AFP Bloom, bringing together two established boutique practices and creating a modern specialist firm focused on complex family law disputes.
