London firm launches family practice

Spector Constant & Williams has launched a family practice to be headed up by new Partner Nick Gova.

Joining the firm this week, Nick will bring with him experience of handling complex financial matters in divorce, including international elements, businesses, pensions, tax and liquidity issues. Nick is regularly instructed in prepared pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements as well as cohabitation agreements. Nick habitually deals with issues pertaining to child arrangements and relocation. Nick is well versed in obtaining financial provision for unmarried individuals where there are children.

Alun Williams, Partner at Spector Constant & Williams, said: "We are always alert to how we can best meet the needs of our clients and look ahead of the curve to see where there is scope to represent a wider pool of clients. With that in mind, it was obvious that there's a need for us in the family law space. Nick's arrival marks an exciting time for us. We are growing and looking at how we can support clients across all of their needs. Nick will be a major asset to the firm and we welcome him to the Spector Constant & Williams family."

Nick said: "I am delighted to be joining Spector Constant & Williams, a firm that is entrepreneurial, ambitious and forward thinking in its approach. The firm has gone from strength to strength since its inception. The introduction of a family law offering team demonstrates the firm’s commitment to clients and being the go-to full-service firm. I look forward to working with the high calibre lawyers at the firm, helping to shape its future."
