mfg Solicitors has appointed Richard Port MBE as a partner and head of family at its Birmingham office, further strengthening its nationally recognised family team. The appointment follows the department’s promotion to tier one in the 2025 edition of The Legal 500.
Port is a highly experienced family law specialist, advising across the full range of family matters including matrimonial finance, complex child arrangements, wealth protection, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements. He is particularly known for his work providing legal services to victims of domestic abuse and for handling complex proceedings.
Katherine Tippetts, partner and head of the family team (pictured, right), said Port has ‘a tremendous reputation across all aspects of family law’, adding that he will help ‘build our family presence further in Birmingham’ and contribute to the firm’s wider regional and national standing.
Port said joining the firm was ‘an easy decision’, adding: ‘With my experience supporting victims of domestic abuse, I hope to bring a distinct perspective to the team and play my part in further enhancing the firm’s regional and national reputation.’
