Silk Family Law

The former 14-strong Dickinson Dees family team has launched independent firm, Silk Family Law, with offices in Newcastle and North Yorkshire.

As part of Dickinson Dees, the team built a reputation, working with a national and international client base renowned for its expertise in high value divorce and financial work. The new firm is headed by solicitors Margaret Simpson and Kim Fellowes, and barrister Ian Kennerley.

Ian Kennerley says: “While we will now operate under the Silk Family Law banner, it is essentially business as usual. Clients will continue to receive  advice and representation in all areas of family law from an experienced team.”
