The ‘very professional and attentive’ team at Sydney Mitchell LLP is co-led by Karen Moores and Mauro Vinti. It frequently advises on areas such as divorce and the dissolution of civil partnerships, financial remedies, protective injunctions and child arrangements. The group is well-placed to advise on asset protection by way of pre- and post-nuptial agreements. Moores often advises on matrimonial finance, the management of substantial assets and complex children’s issues. Senior associate Gemma Whitchurch plays a pivotal role in the department too.
