The ‘exceptional’ team at Russell-Cooke LLP in Kingston upon Thames works closely with colleagues in trusts, tax, company and commercial law to support clients in cross-practice matters: notably, its children team regularly collaborates with the education law practice. Practice head Hannah Field regularly handles international matters. For children work, Amy Chapman is particularly recommended, and Jade Quirke is a key name for the team’s growing surrogacy and fertility law work. Helena French is the go-to for matters involving cohabiting couples, such as declarations of trust and TOLATA matters. Rachel Donald joined the team in May 2024, bolstering the team’s non-court dispute resolution practice as a mediator.
