Wilsons: Family Recognised in The Legal 500 and Chambers UK 2027

We are delighted to celebrate continued recognition for Wilson Solicitors’ Family Department in both The Legal 500 2027 and the Chambers UK Guide 2027, with rankings across the breadth of our family law practice.

The Legal 500 is one of the legal profession’s leading independent directories, and we are pleased that Wilsons: Family has once again been recognised in both Family: Children Law and Family: Divorce & Financial Remedy.

This continued recognition, alongside our Chambers UK 2027 rankings, reflects the expertise, dedication and commitment of our whole Family team. We are particularly proud that the feedback provided to Chambers recognises not only the quality of our legal work, but also the care, compassion, responsiveness and support that underpin the way we work with children and families.

Legal 500 2027

Our Divorce & Financial Remedy team advises on a broad range of matters, including financial remedy proceedings, divorce and civil partnership dissolution, cohabitation agreements, Schedule 1 applications and pre- and post-nuptial agreements.

Our Children Law team has substantial experience across both domestic and international children matters, including Hague Convention proceedings, Schedule 1 applications and care proceedings.

We are particularly pleased that eight of our solicitors have been recognised as Recommended Lawyers in this year’s edition. This reflects the strength and depth of talent across Wilsons: Family. We are especially proud to see lawyers at earlier stages of their careers already attracting positive recognition for their expertise, dedication and commitment to client care.

A recognition of the whole team

These achievements belong to the whole Family Department. Our partners, solicitors, trainees, caseworkers and support staff work collaboratively to ensure that every client receives a consistently high standard of service. The directory recognition reflects the collective contribution of everyone within the team and the qualities we seek to bring to our work: specialist expertise, responsiveness, teamwork, compassion and a commitment to understanding the individual experiences of the children and families we represent.

Family law clients often come to us during extremely difficult and uncertain periods in their lives. While professional recognition is greatly valued, our greatest source of pride remains the trust our clients place in us and the positive difference we can make for them. We are therefore especially pleased that this year’s recognition reflects not only our ability to provide specialist and strategic legal advice, but also the importance we place on ensuring that clients feel heard, supported and taken seriously.

We are incredibly proud of the whole Family Department. We would also like to thank our clients, colleagues, referrers and professional contacts for their continued trust and support, and particularly those who took the time to contribute to our Legal 500 and Chambers submissions and share their experiences of working with Wilson Solicitors.
