Anna Worwood – Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP

Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP  fields an ‘exceptionally strong team of family lawyers’. The ‘indomitable’ James Stewart and the ‘highly experienced’ Anna Worwood co-head the department that offers the ‘highest level of client care and prepares cases immaculately’. The group frequently acts in some of the most significant international cases that come before the English courts with a particular focus on the USA and the Middle East. It has considerable expertise in Part 111 claims and it has a ‘modern families’ unit that is headed by Linzi Bull – this unit focuses on issues such as surrogacy and the legal issues arising from artificial reproductive technologies. Edward Floyd  is now at Farrer & Co while the ‘impressive’ Tammy Knox has been promoted to the partnership. Among the other key members of the team are Jane Craig; Amanda Andrews and Rebecca Carlyon .
