Family Law Team of the Year Award
Expert help at the hardest moments.
About this category
This award recognises a family law team whose expertise and care help clients through divorce, children matters, finances and other family issues. Judges look for outcomes, sensitivity and the use of approaches that reduce conflict.

Open to family law teams in firms and chambers.

Additional criteria
Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client or colleague evidence. Client identities, privileged material and commercially sensitive details must not be disclosed: describe matters in anonymised terms, and give figures as percentages or ranges where needed. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size of the firm, chambers or team, so smaller practices compete on equal terms.
