a dedicated family team. The group is one of the biggest in London,
and it can access additional expertise in other departments such as
private client, real estate and general commercial work, covering every
eventuality for clients. The team works on a mix of matrimonial finance
and child-related work, and applies collaborative law techniques to
a range of disputes. There is a growing international element to the

jurisdictional issues. David Davidson is a seasoned veteran, who is
particularly skilled at complex pension matters. Joint departmental
head William Longrigg brings a wealth of experience to the table. He
is "extremely skilled with vulnerable clients," and sources
praise "his great sense of humour - he has the ability to make
people feel completely at ease." Fellow co-head Sarah Higgins receives
positive feedback for her "incredibly meticulous and methodical
approach." The "straightforward and sensible" Erica Shelton
is best known for her work involving Children Act proceedings, while
Sarah Anticoni is praised for her skills as a mediator.
