Brabners LLP

Praised by clients as a ‘premier family law service', Brabners LLP assists primarily high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients on the full range of family issues, including complex financial proceedings and child matters. As a full-service firm, the group ensures cross-department collaboration with its renowned private client and commercial team and has extensive experience in matters with a multi-jurisdictional element. Practice head Helen Marriott in Liverpool is a key name for complex financial matters and is also a highly skilled arbitrator. In Manchester, the ’one in a million' Cara Nuttall is an expert in domestic and international children matters, as well as fertility and surrogacy law, and Leanne Instrall is also sought after for her work in childcare disputes. Also in Manchester, Joe Ailion is ‘a star' in all aspects of private family law and the ’superb’ Jo-Anna Jellings is particularly sought after for children matters. Another key practitioner is Richard Rigg in Liverpool, who ‘offers straightforward and easily deciphered advice' on all aspects of family law. Joanne Radcliff left the group for Hill Dickinson LLP in December 2023, and Natalie Dickson is with Freeths LLP as of October 2023.
