Partner joins as head of family

HCR Law’s Family Law team has started the new year by welcoming highly regarded family lawyer Beverley Morris as a partner and head of family, London.

Beverley brings particular expertise in addressing the financial consequences of relationship breakdowns.

A member of the Pension Advisory Group, Beverley contributed to the second edition of ‘A Guide to the Treatment of Pensions on Divorce’ in 2024. This publication, supported by the Family Justice Council and The University of Cambridge, is an essential resource for legal professionals navigating complex pension issues in divorce proceedings.

Beverley’s career includes involvement in some of the most notable financial remedy cases. These include the landmark Supreme Court decision in Mills v Mills, which played a role in shaping the law on spousal maintenance, and the long-running Moses Taiga v Taiga litigation, underscoring her expertise in handling complex and high-profile financial disputes.

Beverley’s diverse client base includes entrepreneurs, landowners, high-net-worth individuals, and sports professionals. She is dedicated to achieving amicable resolutions for her clients, blending her legal acumen with a compassionate approach.

Beyond her practice, Beverley is deeply committed to advancing family law and supporting the professional development of fellow practitioners. As a longstanding member of the Resolution West Midlands Committee, she has advocated for constructive approaches to family law issues, with the aim of making a real difference in both the lives of her clients and the evolution of family law.

James Grigg, Head of Family, said: 'I’m delighted that the HCR Law Family division has begun 2025 in similar fashion to the recent years of growth, by welcoming Beverley to the team. Her knowledge of the intricacies of finances post-relationship breakdown is renowned and will enhance our offering to couples and families across the country.'

Commenting on her appointment, Beverley Morris said: 'HCR’s Family Law team are well-known for the excellent service they provide to clients – a service which is comprised of a deep understanding of the field combined with a genuine care for their clients. I’m pleased to be able to bring my experience to the team; I can’t wait to get started.'
