New head of family law

Manchester-based MLP Law, (formally Myers Lister Price) has appointed Theo Hoppen as head of family law.

Theo has over nine years’ of family law experience, advising and representing professionals, business people and celebrities on a wide range of issues including cohabitation disputes, pre-nuptial agreements and children matters. He also has a keen interest in advising on financial settlements arising from divorce and helping clients to protect their wealth.

Theo is relocating to the Altrincham area after joining MLP Law from Ward Hadaway in Leeds.

Theo says: “I’m looking forward to strengthening MLP Law’s reputation in the family law sector, building on the firm’s existing achievements and ensuring that the team continues to provide an excellent and reliable service to its clients.

“By offering straight talking, jargon free advice, I will focus on helping clients to protect their wealth during emotionally sensitive periods, such as the breakdown of a relationship, and also helping clients to get their affairs in order, whatever their circumstances.”

Stephen Attree, managing director of MLP Law, says: “We’re continually investing in exceptional talent to ensure we provide the best possible service to all our clients. Theo has a wealth of experience and expertise in his respective field to add to our high quality offering and his appointment further supports our business strategy in becoming the leading provider of personal and business legal services in the north west.”
