Family Law Partners expands into Berkshire with arrival of leading family specialist
Multi-award-winning family law practice Family Law Partners has announced its expansion into Berkshire with a new office location in Ascot, headed up by leading family lawyer Amanda Phillips-Wylds who joins the firm as a Legal Director on 1st September 2024.
Since launching in 2011, Family Law Partners has built upon its reputation as the leading family firm in the South through its focus on dispute resolution and a team-wide commitment to keeping clients away from court to minimise the emotional and financial cost to families.
The firm’s newly announced Berkshire presence, with the opening of a new office in the centre of Ascot, is part of the firm’s strategy to roll-out its own unique approach to family law further across the region – alongside the continued success of its teams in Brighton, Horsham, Tunbridge Wells, East Sussex, Hampshire and Essex.
This latest news follows success at the Modern Law Private Client Awards 2024 in July where the team were double winners, being recognised as the leading family team as well as the top private client team in the country. The team is strengthened with the arrival of specialist family lawyer and mediator Amanda Phillips-Wylds who will head up the new Ascot office.
Robert Williams, Managing Director at Family Law Partners, said:
Our plans for growth are always carefully considered. For us and our team, it has never been about growth for growth’s sake. A key ingredient of our success has been our ability to attract the very best people – which, for us, not only means exceptional family lawyers, but those who share the same vision and commitment to working in a different way. A way in which benefits our clients, but also ourselves as professionals.
We are thrilled we have been able to attract a lawyer of Amanda’s calibre. Her experience in DR, together with her shared views on how complementary services and technology can better empower clients, make her the natural fit for our new base in Berkshire.
A Resolution Accredited Specialist and accredited family mediator, Amanda brings a wealth of experience and first-class family law credentials. Amanda’s longstanding reputation as being very much a part of the local Ascot community, will see her combine her own depth of experience and passion, together with Family Law Partners’ unique approach to divorce and separation, to bring a new flavour to the family law landscape in the Ascot and wider Berkshire area.
Amanda Phillips-Wylds said:
The reputation Family Law Partners has forged over the past decade is astonishing and I have long-admired the team’s vision and approach. For clients, the firm’s commitment to non-court resolution means that they are offered real choice and options – for family lawyers like myself, there’s nothing more rewarding than being able to work in a creative way, helping clients find long-lasting solutions that might not have been found through the traditional court process.
The opportunity to join this team, and to work in collaboration with its network of therapeutic support professionals, is incredibly exciting. I’m delighted to be a part of the future growth of Family Law Partners by heading and growing its first office in Berkshire.
