Children law team expands the practice

North West firm McAlister Family Law has welcomed a team of four children law specialists to the firm, composed of Jessica Horsman, Laura Phillips, Nina Rawlings and Natalie Kralski.

Jessica Horsman (second right) joins the firm after two years with the children law team at Bromleys Solicitors. She offers particular expertise in child protection matters, and in representing parents and grandparents in proceedings. She commented: ‘My new role at McAlister Family Law is both exciting and challenging, and I am thrilled to be working with lawyers who are some of the most experienced and respected in their fields of expertise.’

Assistant solicitor Laura Phillips (left) comes on board from Stephensons Solicitors, and will focus on care proceedings, adoption, and residence and contact disputes. Paralegal Nina Rawlings (second left) has joined the children law team, and Natalie Kralski (right), also a paralegal, joins the specialist guardian team.

Amanda McAlister, managing director, said: ‘As a family law firm, we are passionately committed to the welfare of children and delivering the highest levels of service to those who need us, and we are careful to recruit only those whose beliefs echo this commitment. We are therefore delighted to welcome these four new recruits to the business.’
