The ‘knowledgeable and professional’ family team at Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP acts across financial and children matters, with wealth protection, cohabitee cases, and domestic abuse matters also within the team’s expertise. Charlotte Knappett took over as head of the practice following Simon Osborn’s retirement in April 2024. Knappett combines expertise in financial disputes and pre/post-nuptial agreements with experience handling international child abduction matters. Richard Busby is the go-to for matrimonial finance related property disputes, and Rachel Earnshaw specialises in children’s law.
