McAlister Family Law—two appointments

North west family law firm welcomes two solicitors

Specialist firm McAlister Family Law has welcomed two solicitors to the team, Heather Lucy and George Wilson.

Heather (pictured, left) completed her training contract at Vardags, and offers experience in a wide variety of family law matters, including parental alienation, international divorce and child contact. George (right) also focuses his practice on family law, advising on matters including private law children, divorce and finances.

Amanda McAlister (centre), managing partner, said: ‘I’m delighted to welcome Heather and George on board. Both are very talented young lawyers and bring skills and experience that complement the already comprehensive offering here at McAlister Family Law. Like everyone within our firm, they are dedicated to delivering the very highest level of service to our clients.

‘Our excellent new recruits will, I am sure, make a significant contribution to the team as we continue to grow as a firm and cement our reputation as one the UK’s leading family law firms.’

Head of Beyond Group, of which McAlister Family Law is a part, Matt Fleetwood said: ‘George and Heather are a perfect fit for the Group’s culture and values. McAlister Family Law has been extraordinarily successful since we established the firm three years ago, and it’s great to see it expand further with these new recruits.’
