Emma Wilders-Pratt & Juliet Mayhew—Trethowans

Key appointments in family team

Trethowans has made two key appointments in its family team in recent months with the appointment of two new partners Emma Wilders-Pratt and Juliet Mayhew.

Emma works in all areas of family law with a particular specialism in relationship breakdown, complex financial cases and acting for military personnel. She is a member of Resolution and is a trained collaborative lawyer and joined Trethowans from Parker Bullen where she was previously a partner.

Juliet also joins from Parker Bullen and specialises in areas of relationship breakdown. Juliet is also a member of Resolution and trained mediator. Her experience in handling disputes relating to farm assets, trusts and inherited wealth will enable Juliet to work closely with Trethowans’ rural team with a wide range of legal issues.

Managing partner, Chris Whiteley, says: “Family law is an increasingly important part of our business and we are committed to offering the very best legal advice to our clients. We already have an extremely strong family team and the arrival of Emma and Juliet gives us the opportunity for further growth moving into the Winchester market as well as at our offices in Salisbury, Southampton and Poole.”
