Rayden Solicitors

The ‘first-class’ team at Rayden Solicitors has a strong regional presence across St Albans, Berkhamsted, Beaconsfield, Bishop’s Stortford, and Harpenden, and it leverages this to support a wide range of clients, particularly high-net-worth individuals. Katherine Rayden founded the firm in 2005, and retains a reputation as a leading expert in high-value and multi-jurisdictional family law matters, specialising in complex financial disputes, international children cases, and pre and post-nuptial agreements. Berkhamsted-based head Emily Watson specialises in complex private children law matters, including international relocation, cases involving serious allegations, and arbitration, and she also advises on high-value financial cases, prenuptial agreements, and TOLATA claims, often resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution methods. Adept in divorce cases that often involve sensitive child matters is Paula Butterworth, head of Harpenden office, whose workload frequently includes leave to remove and fact-finding hearings; she often resolves cases through collaborative law, arbitration, and private FDRs. Rupinder Rai, co-head and founder of the Beaconsfield office, is a key contact for complex multi-jurisdictional matters.
