Family law specialist to establish Surrey family law practice

Family law specialist Veronica Gilmour has joined Penningtons Manches LLP to establish a Surrey family law practice in Guildford as part of the expansion of the firm’s capability in the South East.  

Previously a partner in the top tier family department of Mundays for 11 years, Veronica has 28 years’ experience in family work. She deals with all aspects of family law including private children disputes, pensions and marital agreements and has particular expertise in high value, complex financial cases in both the UK and internationally. She is a Resolution-accredited specialist family lawyer and has been at the forefront of the development of non-adversarial alternatives in family law matters. She is a qualified collaborative lawyer with a thriving mediation practice and is a long-standing member of the Surrey Resolution Committee.

Jane Craig, head of Penningtons Manches’ family law department and former chair of Resolution, said: “We are delighted that Veronica has joined Penningtons Manches to lead our new family team in Guildford. The establishment of our Surrey family practice means that Penningtons Manches can offer top-quality family law advice in a network of offices spanning London, Oxford, Reading and now Guildford. Veronica’s skills and experience complement the expertise of the rest of our high ranking family department.”
