Family law and mediation
specialist Joanna Toloczko has joined the London office of Royds Withy King.
Joanna has been appointed as a
partner and joins from Meaby & Co. She has over 30 years’ experience in
leading law firms in London and Essex. This latest appointment underlines Royds
Withy King’s commitment to further growing its profile in London.
Joanna covers all aspects of family
law, including divorce and dissolution of civil partnerships; family agreements
including prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, separation agreements and
cohabitation agreements; family mediation; financial remedies within divorce
proceedings; private children law and property and financial claims for
cohabiting partners.
Joanna said: ‘I am really
excited to be joining a great team in such a well-regarded law firm. I have a
particular interest in complex and high value financial remedy applications within
divorce proceedings, such as cases involving business assets, property
portfolios or trusts. I also have a passion for helping separating couples to
resolve disputes using family mediation and thereby avoid the stress, expense
and delay of court proceedings. As an accredited family mediator, I’ll be able
to help couples seeking mediation from any of our offices, given that mediation
sessions will now be taking place remotely.
‘Many of my clients are
feeling completely overwhelmed when we first meet. I love working through their
problems with them in a structured way and helping them to gain the clarity
they need to move forward with confidence. I am also looking forward to meeting my new colleagues,
albeit only virtually for now.’
Royds Withy King head of
family Richard Ellis said: ‘Joanna is an excellent addition to our Family team
and brings with her a wealth of experience. She will be a tremendous asset for
us in supporting our clients.’
Joanna’s arrival brings the number of new partner hires at Royds Withy King to eight in the past year.
