Testimonials
‘A formidable team with unsurpassed knowledge of international family law. If you have a jurisdiction battle, you want someone from this team on your side’.
‘Michael Allum is second to none! He would make himself available during weekends or late evenings. Michael Allum was an outstanding advocate for me at what was probably the most difficult time in my life. He was kind, thoughtful and understanding as well as being thoroughly professional and knowledgeable and he got me through the divorce and settlement process as smoothly as I could ever have imagined’.
‘I valued Lucy Greenwood‘s unwavering support and patience – she understood that I was in a very complex situation dealing with laws in three countries, family matters and financial matters. She was extremely communicative and responsive and always provided excellent answers to my questions’.
‘Lucy Loizou is incredibly knowledgeable in her field. I have felt completely secure in her capable hands. She is down to earth, no nonsense, plain talking and yet super friendly. From our first phone call, she immediately understood the situation and has explained the process to me step by step. She is incredibly patient with me yet fierce and determined in my defence. The perfect combination. Lucy has made the painful process as painless as it could have been’.
‘Helen Blackburn is one of the most experienced international children lawyers around. Her practice is almost exclusively High Court and Court of Appeal based. She has an excellent knowledge of her subject area which she combines with great judgment and an impressive client skill. She is the most meticulous solicitor I have come across. She inspires confidence in her clients and counsel alike with her calm, confident manner. She is undoubtedly one of the sharpest knives in the drawer!’
