(Hall of Fame)Clients ‘greatly appreciate’ the ‘user friendly’ style at boutique firm Hughes Fowler Carruthers, which offers the full range of domestic and international finance and children expertise. Frances Hughes
heads up the practice, specialising in complex divorce cases which involve high-value assets and multiple jurisdictions. Alex Carruthers ‘is a powerhouse of a lawyer’, sought after for complex legal issues involved in matrimonial finance cases, while Pauline Fowler is recommended for her ability to find ‘creative solutions that work for real families‘. For pre-nuptial and pre-civil partnership agreements, Mark Harper is a go-to, and Renato Labi ‘negotiates as well as he litigates‘ in high-stakes divorce matters. ‘A brilliant lawyer and a clever tactician‘, Caroline Park handles long-running and often cross-border cases; such international matters are also an area of expertise for Kate Brett. The team’s children practice handles international relocation, abduction, adoption and surrogacy matters, along with sensitive issues of domestic abuse and coercive control.
