Family Law Partners announces Fleet office expansion and Emily Pain’s promotion to Director

Family Law Partners, the award-winning family law firm which has recently become employee owned, has announced further expansion in Fleet, Hampshire on 1st May 2025. This move marks another milestone in the firm’s continued growth and reflects the increasing demand for its specialist family law and mediation services across Hampshire and the surrounding regions.

The expansion of the Fleet office coincides with the promotion of Emily Pain to Legal Director. Emily, who joined the firm in 2020 as a Consultant, has played a pivotal role in building Family Law Partners’ presence in the North Hampshire and M4 corridor area. Her promotion recognises her exceptional contribution to the firm and her ongoing commitment to delivering a values-led and family-focused approach to separation and divorce.

Emily is a highly respected family law specialist and a skilled mediator. Her thriving mediation practice has become a cornerstone of the firm’s offering in Hampshire, supporting individuals and families to resolve complex issues around finances, children and property in a constructive, non-confrontational way. Emily’s approach aligns perfectly with the firm’s ethos of minimising conflict and putting families first.

Emily Pain commented:

“It’s really exciting to be taking this next step in my career with Family Law Partners. Since joining as a Consultant, I’ve been fully supported to grow a local presence in Fleet that reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation and a compassionate approach to family law. I’m particularly proud of the work we’re doing through mediation – helping families navigate separation in a way that’s constructive and future-focused. Leading our Fleet office as a Legal Director provides the perfect platform for me to grow a team and the firm’s reach across the region.”

The Fleet office represents a key part of Family Law Partners’ wider strategic growth plans. Recruitment is an ongoing priority, with the firm actively seeking like-minded family law professionals to join the team and support the growing demand in the region.

Robert Williams, Co-Founder of Family Law Partners, said:

“We’ve loved watching Emily’s journey since she joined us as a Consultant and now her move to a Legal Director. Her dedication, leadership and passion for family law – especially in mediation – have made a real impact in Fleet and the wider Hampshire area. Emily’s move from Consultant to Legal Director was a natural step to take advantage of her desire to grow a team of experts. The success of the Fleet office is a direct result of Emily’s vision and drive, and we’re excited to see what comes next as the office goes from strength to strength.”

As a recently established Employee Ownership Trust, Family Law Partners continues to invest in its team and long-term future. The expansion of the Fleet office is a testament to the firm’s culture of empowerment and sustainable growth, ensuring that clients continue to benefit from the highest standards of support and expertise.
