Ann was joint founder of iFLG, with David Hodson in 2007, and she has been managing the practice since its inception. The Legal 500 (2021) describes Ann Thomas and David Hodson as having ‘remained among the very best family law solicitors for many years’ commenting that ‘they have built up a formidable team ‘.
Ann is a leading international children lawyer and the author of the chapter on child relocation in the leading international practitioner’s text The International Family Law Practice (Lexis Nexis), now in its sixth edition.
Ann remains an integral part of the Firm and will continue to bring her vast experience and expertise to complex cases and in the further development of iFLG.
