Ann Thompson is an excellent children’s lawyer who is very experienced in this field.
Trudi Featherstone is very focused on taking the details and getting a resolution. She is a joy on the other side. I also really rate her as a mediator. She approaches the case like she really cares about the family. She adapts her style and reads the room.
I worked with Trudi and Hannah on a long-running, intractable and very difficult case. Hannah was excellent, performing way beyond her experience. She was on top of the detail, very efficient (with me, the client, the court and the opposition) and effective. I was also very impressed with her client-handling, which was exemplary and befitted a solicitor of far more experience than she in fact has. Furthermore, she appeared unflappable and calm, as well as good humoured at all times, despite the many (and unusual) which arose in the case.
Thomas Brownrigg is a likeable, engaging, excellent mediator with an awareness of the importance of the voice of the child.
