Invalesco Family Law

Yorkshire family law boutique launched

A pair of experienced solicitors have launched specialist practice Invalesco Family Law in Yorkshire.

Co-founders Emma Davison and Sally Baber were both formerly members of Ison Harrison Solicitors in Leeds, and bring with them more than 30 years of experience. With offices in Wetherby and Leeds, Invalesco Family Law will focus on handling relationship issues, from pre-nuptial agreements to separation and divorce.

Emma Davison stated: ‘We wanted to draw on our knowledge and bring the best of our combined experiences in the service we provide to our clients. Whatever their legal issue, the common theme is that people want accessible, clear, and tailored advice that just gets the job done.’

Sally Baber added: ‘Our clients come from differing backgrounds, ages and often with a range of complex, financial or other problems they need to resolve. We acknowledge that everyone’s circumstances and motivations are different, and wanted to offer a flexible, first-class service that is tailored to the individual.’
