Irwin Mitchell’s family practice is ‘excellent in terms of attention to detail and the way it deals with clients’, offering a comprehensive service across litigation and alternative dispute resolution. Members of the team are skilled at handling mediation and arbitration; Sharia law is another strength of the team, with Sarah Al-Jourani particularly skilled in this area. Leading the team is Anna Chenoweth, who is ’second to none’. Maisie Huynh specialises in matters with a complex personal injury nexus, and is a ‘star in the making’, while James Henshall has ’enormous potential’, and regularly acts on complex children proceedings.
