I have worked with [Hannah] on cases at Goodman Ray for a number of years… Hannah has a strong work ethic, is careful and meticulous in her preparation but also manages to be warm, empathetic and focused on solutions rather than conflict and perpetuating litigation. Where a case demands it, Hannah is also tough and determined in her defence of our client’s interest. It is for this reason that I now advise my own direct access clients to instruct Hannah when their case demanded the involvement of a solicitor.

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.
She is a forerunner in international children law and especially complex surrogacy work.
Novlet is very committed to ensuring the best representation for her clients. She understands the nuances of the case, the law and likely outcomes but never loses sight of the impact on her client of the proceedings they are caught up in.
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.
Emma is a creative thinker who is focused on how to get to a solution quickly and effectively.
She is professional, goal oriented and compassionate. It’s hard to get all those qualities in one person but that’s exactly what I got. You need someone like Sheeja on your side. I would remain always grateful.
