Firm appoints experienced family solicitor

Moore Blatch, which has offices in Richmond, Southampton, Lymington and City of London, has added to its family team with the appointment of experienced solicitor Daniel Chalmers.

Based in the Richmond office, Daniel qualified as a solicitor in 2011 and has since specialised in the area of family law.

Daniel is responsible for a wide range of clients and acts for them at all stages of the legal process from those seeking a divorce, to those involved in complicated financial relief cases, seeking to protect their interests through written agreements, pre and post nuptial agreements, and to those involved in complex court proceedings. He typically represents clients in Children Act proceedings and has extensive knowledge of domestic violence and harassment cases.  

Jan Galloway, partner, says: “Daniel is the third person to join our growing Family team in recent years. Collectively, we have a huge amount of experience in handling the full range of family related legal issues. Daniel is dedicated and hardworking and also has great empathy for his clients, a vital attribute. Daniel’s appointment is part of the firm’s plans to grow across all our offices in London and the south east.”
