2020: Family Law winners announced

Irwin Mitchell’s Ros Bever won Partner of the Year while Philip Waller took home the Cornwell Award for Outstanding Contribution to Family Law, at this year’s LexisNexis Family Law Awards

Waller, of Coram Chambers, retired in February after a 26-year judicial career as Senior District Judge, Family Division, and as a Circuit Judge. Coram’s Alex Laing and Rachel Cooper also won Junior Barrister and Young Barrister, respectively.

The family law community voted for the winners in three categories: Frances Edwards, Caswell Jones (Chartered Legal Executive); Sarah Phillimore, St John’s (Commentator); and 3PB (Clerking Team), who were commended for ‘responding to the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis with an unswerving focus on supporting colleagues and clients’.

Andy Sparkes, director of legal markets, LexisNexis, said: ‘Looking after the vulnerable, protecting children and bringing legal justice to those in need is one of the unspoken chapters of this pandemic.’

The winners were announced last week at a virtual ceremony attended by more than 500 guests. View the full results at: bit.ly/33zGu5b.
