Firm’s family practice continues to grow

Moore Blatch has continued the expansion of its family practice with the appointment of Sarah French, only a matter of days after it announced Victoria Walker as a new partner in the same field.

Sarah joins the firm after more than 13 years at Blake Morgan. She is a highly experienced family law practitioner, with expertise in financial claims between spouses and partners, as well as disputes involving children. She is also a family mediator, and previously wrote and taught the family law module at Winchester University. She joins Moore Blatch as an associate in the Southampton office.

Head of the firm’s family practice Debra Emery said: ‘It is fantastic to have someone with such wide-ranging skills and experience, plus in depth understanding of family disputes join us.’

Sarah added: ‘I’m looking forward to joining a team that has gained the highest recognition by Legal 500 for their ‘top drawer’ practice as well as their collaborative approach in seeking solutions for what can be extremely difficult situations for clients.’
