Je voulais vous faire savoir à quel point Hannah was in all my dealings with her before, during and after the hearing

The statement that she drafted for the client was of the same high quality one would expect of an experienced family lawyer.  It was focussed and understated whilst at the same time getting across the points made by a difficult client in a clear and insightful way.

She had established a good rapport with the client and the interpreter.  She prepared excellent notes of the evidence.  At one point we had to share our note to try and agree a note of the expert’s evidence and it became clear that Hannah’s note was by far the best and most comprehensive.  All counsel commended her for this.

She was a good source of support for me an actioned any request I made quickly and without fuss.

I feel sure that she will become an excellent solicitor and you are lucky to have her.

Thomas Brownrigg est un médiateur innovant et un excellent juriste technique.

‐ Chambers and Partners, 2026

J'ai travaillé avec Trudi et Hannah sur un cas de longue durée, intraitable et très difficile. Hannah a été excellente, dépassant largement son expérience. Elle était au fait des détails, très efficace (avec moi, le client, le tribunal et l'opposition) et performante. J'ai également été très impressionné par sa façon de traiter les clients, qui était exemplaire et convenait à un avocat ayant bien plus d'expérience qu'elle n'en a en réalité. En outre, elle s'est montrée imperturbable et calme, ainsi que de bonne humeur à tout moment, malgré les nombreuses (et inhabituelles) difficultés rencontrées dans l'affaire.

Peggy Ray has a powerful and acute intellect, and grapples imaginatively, with maturity of judgment, and (where appropriate) forcefully with difficult and challenging cases. She is a legendary class act. Janet Broadley is a very well-established specialist in international cases, and in particular in Hague Convention child abduction, with experience of very high-level work including in the UKSC and the CJEU. Her legal knowledge and tactical skill are overlaid by an open, sensitive approach ideally suits her to the representation of older children, and she is one of the few ‘go-to’ practitioners who excel at this role.

Tout le monde chez Goodman Ray est tout simplement excellent. Le recrutement, tant externe qu'interne, est très solide.

‐ Chambers and Partners, 2026

I have worked with Goodman Ray for ten years or more undertaking financial remedy work. Many of those cases have had a large and complex international element, others have involved uncovering gross non-disclosure by the other party and almost all have been cases where the asset base is complicated by trusts, private limited company structures or complex third-party interests and claims. 

What I have consistently found is that Goodman Ray offer quality that is just as effective and professional as the ‘magic circle’ sets of solicitors but do so with a strong personal commitment, offer empathetic advice and consistent maintain a clear focus on achieving successful outcomes at proportionate cost to the clients. I routinely recommend Goodman Ray’s financial remedy team to others and including to my own directly instructed clients when their cases need the involvement of a solicitor.
