Clarke Willmott LLP‘s family law practice is wide-reaching, with significant experience in instructions complicated by domestic abuse and coercive control, and financial remedy negotiations involving family businesses. Adept across litigation and alternative methods such as private FDR, the team is led by the ’brilliant’ Rayner Grice, whose expansive practice spans high-value divorce, separation and complex children law matters involving a range of issues including parental alienation and abuse. The bench is strengthened by Adam Maguire, a key contact for wealth protection agreements and financial remedy, and Caroline Young, a lawyer experienced in complex private child law matters related to neglect and abuse.
