Stephensons has bolstered its highly respected family law team with the promotion of Emma Roberts as its new Head of Divorce and Finances. The firm has also appointed experienced solicitor, Stephen Jones into its expanding family law team.
Having specialised in family law since 2010, Emma Roberts has a wealth of experience assisting clients in a range of matters. Recognised and accredited as a Resolution specialist and a Children Panel member, Emma joined Stephensons in 2019 and in that time has developed a strong reputation for work in divorce and civil partnership dissolution, as well as resolving complex financial arrangements.
Stephen Jones joins Stephensons from Merrick Solicitors in Manchester. Stephen specialises in divorce, private children law matters and financial cases including those involving complex issues, high net worth individuals and business assets.
Stephensons’ family law department was recently recognised as a ‘tier one’ firm in the prestigious Legal 500 rankings for the North West of England.
Victoria Gethin, partner and head of the family department at Stephensons said:
“At its core, the success of Stephensons is down to its people; the talent and dedication they demonstrate day in, day out in delivering the very best outcomes for clients.
“I am incredibly pleased to welcome Stephen to the team. He brings with him a wealth of invaluable experience that will be of huge benefit to our clients and the wider team.
I am also very proud to see Emma’s legal career go from strength to strength. Emma is committed to her clients and helps them navigate the often complex divorce process with great care and compassion. I know she will thrive in her new role and look forward to working closely with her in the months ahead.”
