Anna Worwood – Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP

Jointly chaired by Anna Worwood and James Stewart, the team at Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP has been praised as the ‘best family law team in London and beyond’. It is well-regarded for its international family law capabilities and the group routinely advises on mandates involving choice of jurisdiction, child relocation, child abduction, and cross-border enforcements. Elizabeth Carson drives the team’s US offering, focusing on the needs of high-net-worth individuals with a US connection. Rebecca Carlyon is highly experienced in drafting post and pre-nuptial agreements, both domestic and international, and in resolving issues between unmarried couples. Amanda Andrews is sought after for her work on high-value matrimonial finance and complex children cases. Tammy Knox has an excellent reputation for her work with high-net-worth individuals in private law children proceedings, and other notable members of the ‘incredible team‘ include Jane Craig, Linzi Bull, who acts for many high-net-worth members of the LGBTIQA+ community, and Amy Fox, who was recently promoted to the partnership.
