(Next Generation Partners)Harrison Clark Rickerbys ‘is a powerhouse for family work in the Midlands’. Andrew Caldicott, Laura Williams (who joined the team from Thursfields Solicitors in October 2023) and Anita Hennessey co-head the department. It has a national reputation for its work across an array of complex private children law matters, and for its representation of high-net-worth individuals in divorce and financial remedy cases. The group receives a regular flow of instructions from business owners, and on farming cases. It also frequently works on cases involving military personnel. James Osborne often undertakes his own advocacy. Legal director Maxine Reid has substantial experience of complex financial matters. Christopher Finch was recently promoted to partner and is another key figure.
