We’re proud to share that we’ve once again been ranked as the sole Band 1 firm for Family/Matrimonial in Wales in Chambers UK 2027.

Alongside our firm ranking, six of our solicitors have been individually recognised. Melanie Hamer and Sarah Wyburn are ranked in Band 1, and Rebecca Knight is ranked in Band 3. Sam John is recognised as Up and Coming, with Bethan Tapper and Fay Jones named as Associates to Watch. We’d also like to give a special mention to Sarah, Rebecca and Sam, who have each moved up in this year’s rankings.

Chambers’ research is based on conversations with the people we work with, so a big thank you to every client and colleague who spoke to the researchers on our behalf. We know that going through a family law matter can be one of the hardest times in someone’s life, and hearing that our clients valued our support means a lot to all of us. It’s a real privilege to continue to be recognised as the leading family law team in Wales.

Well done to everyone ranked, and thank you to the whole team for the work they put in every day.

Marriages ending in divorce in England and Wales now last a median of 13 years, the longest since 1963. At first glance, that sounds like good news. But does a longer marriage necessarily mean a happier one?

In our latest post, Luke Dixon looks behind the recent ONS figures and asks whether the “seven-year itch” has simply become the 13-year itch, and why some couples may be separating later than they once did.

This week, our annual charity bake off got underway with a round of cookies. 🍪

We had four delicious entries: custard cream, Lotus Biscoff, raspberry and white chocolate, and dark chocolate dipped in white chocolate.

Congratulations to Emily Burnett, whose custard cream cookies won the round!

All proceeds will go to Latch Welsh Children's Cancer Charity, supporting children with cancer and their families in Wales.

The next round will be Victoria sponge.
