Family practice bolstered by new partner hire

Moore Blatch has added to its family law practice with the addition of Victoria Walker as partner in the Richmond office.

Victoria has joined the firm after nine months at Downs Solicitors, where she was co-head of the family department. Her key areas of expertise include financial disputes following relationship breakdowns, and child cases where a parent has moved abroad.

Victoria stated: ‘Recognised by both Legal 500 and Chambers, Moore Blatch’s family law team, led by Debra Emery, has a formidable reputation. I look forward to joining a team that, like myself, prides itself on securing the best results for clients.’

Debra, the head of the practice, added: ‘Victoria’s clients praise her for her practical no nonsense approach, her ability to fully appreciate their key objectives, and working to keep costs down - all attributes we value highly here.’

It has been a month of new additions at the firm, with land development specialist Sam Willey also joining as partner earlier this month.
