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.

“Emma works very hard to support clients through a process which is often incredibly distressing and difficult – she is there fighting their corner in exhausting circumstances.”
I only really interacted with Jennifer and I always found her to be very friendly and approaches her work with a really positive enthusiasm. I think that is an admirable working style and makes Jennifer stand out. This way of working was particularly appreciated given what a fractious and difficult process divorce can be.

Kevin has a really good skill at being able to suss out if something is not quite right. He is also very empathetic towards the clients.
