Ribet Myles’ senior team highlighted again for expertise with high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families
Ribet Myles’ most senior lawyers have been recognised once again by one of the UK’s leading indexes of family law practitioners. Spear’s 2022 Family Lawyers Index, which ranks the best family lawyers in the country, has highlighted four members of our team for their expertise in managing family law matters for high-net-worth individuals.
Julian, Alistair, Laura and Anna are all recommended lawyers – and partners Julian, Alistair and Laura maintain their rankings from previous years.
Research feedback from one QC during the process describes Julian as “an extremely able, top-rank practitioner”, while another says the Ribet Myles partner is “impressive, diligent and practical”.
Alistair’s expertise ‘working on cases that have re-shaped or progressed the law’ is highlighted, and Laura gets a special mention for her recent work on ‘three divorces with assets of between £60-100 million. One of these involved assets across a number of jurisdictions, requiring the management of a number of international valuers and tax experts.’
Anna is mentioned for her specialisms in ‘complex financial cases with assets abroad and difficult trust structures, financial provision and other child arrangement issues, including relocation and medical intervention, as well as drafting marital agreements.’
Julian commented “I am delighted that our senior lawyers have yet again been recognised by Spear’s for their expertise and commitment to excellence in practice.
“Individuals of high- and ultra-high-net-worth can face particular challenges and complexities when it comes to matters of separation and divorce. As trusted experts within this area of society and family law, it is gratifying to be highlighted for our ongoing hard work and the highly specialist support we offer.”
The latest Spear’s Index announcement closely follows Julian’s listing amongst the Best Lawyers in the United Kingdom 2023 which was launched just last month in partnership with the Financial Times. The 2023 edition of The Best Lawyers UK recognises the professional excellence of 6,017 lawyers in 84 practice areas across 35 metropolitan areas and is a highly respected guide that has more than 40 years of experience compiling purely peer review data.
In addition to the Spear’s 2022 Family Lawyers Index and Best Lawyers UK 2023, Ribet Myles is also recognised in The Chambers High Net Worth Guide, The Chambers and Partners Guide, The Legal 500 and The CityWealth Leaders List.
Ribet Myles is also shortlisted for the Chambers High Net Worth Guide Awards in the Emerging Firm / Practice category. The winner will be announced on Thursday 21st July at The Chambers High Net Worth Awards in London.
