Ranking Table

Family/Children Law

This table ranks the leading firms and lawyers in London handling private family matters where the primary concern is the placement, maintenance and welfare of child dependants. Representative work includes disputes over contact and residence arrangements, leave to remove cases and applications for emergency injunctions such as non-molestation and prohibited steps orders. It also encompasses private law work relating to fertility treatments, surrogacy arrangements and adoption. Lawyers who specialise in public law work concerning children are ranked separately elsewhere. This is also true for lawyers and firms that specialise in cases of international abduction, adoption and surrogacy. Matrimonial finance work in London is also covered separately and forms part of our High Net Worth research.
