‘The children's practice is amazing. They are passionate about getting the right outcome for the children involved. They work really hard, doing everything possible to achieve success for you, going above and beyond in all instances. They're not just great at what they do, they are genuinely good people.’
‘I had Caroline Korah on my case, who was outstanding, a fountain of knowledge and a wealth of experience in the Children's domain. Caroline, Imogen Fallon, and the team were superb in every way. They are extremely diligent and professional, providing the best advice, strategies, and guidance. They were very supportive, very caring and considerate for me as an individual throughout the case of Child Arrangements proceedings that ran the best part of 4 years.’
‘The team works extremely hard, and they manage to develop very supportive frameworks for often vulnerable clients, while still driving the case forward in a powerful and efficient manner.’
‘Caroline Korah is by far one of the best children practitioners out there. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and highly organised, but she is a genuinely lovely person to boot. She is clear and calm with her clients, but the same follows through with her opponents. She focuses on what is important and gets results. Her judgment is second to none. ’
‘I have worked with Caroline Korah on a number of cases over the years, where she has looked after the children side and I the financial remedy side. She remains a force to be reckoned with. She is robust in her advice to clients, doesn't shy away from giving advice they don't want to hear, and she knows when to settle. She is experienced and expert, with heaps of common sense. A delight to deal with, always.’
‘Caroline Korah is a class act in family law. Her expertise and experience in international child law cases give her gravitas and well-earned respect in both international and domestic private child law disputes.’
