Family/Children Law: Cross-Border Disputes

About

Provided by Goodman Ray

Goodman Ray is the boutique children and family firm. The firm has a reputation for excellence in all fields of children and family work. They are one of the few firms, with solid expertise in finances, private children, international issues, adoption, fertility, modern family structures, public law, and domestic abuse. They remain able to offer advice in all areas due to an ongoing commitment to publicly funded clients, alongside high and ultra-high net worth clients.

In 2022 the firm moved to offices at 9 Gough Square, in the heart of London’s legal centre, a stone’s throw away from the Royal Courts of Justice and the Central Family Court.  Their new offices provide conference and meeting rooms, suitable for remote Court hearings, meetings, and an open-plan area to host seminars, training events and to encourage collaborative working. Goodman Ray opened a second office in Brighton following a significant increase in work on the South Coast, with a permanent address a few minutes from the Family Court.

The firm has a strong litigation background, alongside an excellent track record of negotiating and settling cases. The team are very client focused and are constructive in their approach; it benefits from having solicitors, mediators, and collaborative lawyers in the team, whilst members of the firm also sit as members of the judiciary.
