Major developments in the continued success of IFLG
iFLG is delighted to announce two major developments in its continued success as a leading international family law practice. The entire family law team of Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP, led by Carolynn Usher, has joined iFLG. Leading Australian family law firm, Watts McCray, of Sydney, Canberra and Parramatta, and iFLG have announced their association.
On 1 September 2009, the entire family law team of Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP, led by Carolynn Usher, will be joining iFLG. Carolynn brings with her a team of specialist lawyers experienced in international work, both finance and children. Helen Blackburn and Lucy Greenwood join as partners along with paralegal, Stuart Clark, and their support team. Carolynn is one of the world’s leading international children lawyers, having been practising in this area for over 30 years. Chambers UK describes her: “A star in her own right, the hugely respected Carolynn Usher is “right at the pinnacle” of child abduction work”.
iFLG will then consist of 6 partners and consultants with 4 assistant lawyers (including 4 mediators, 3 collaborative lawyers and an arbitrator), undertaking specialist and complex family law work for national and international families and children.
Also on 1 September 2009, iFLG and leading Australian family law firm, Watts McCray, of Sydney, Canberra and Parramatta are delighted to announce their association.
Each firm has a worldwide acknowledged specialisation in family law work with an international element. The (non-exclusive) association will enable each firm to work more closely, quickly and efficiently for their clients in cross border cases. The two firms will be able to provide improved, combined specialist services to assist international families and their many clients with close connections between England and Australia. Each firm already receives many instructions from law firms in the other country and this association will allow them each to provide an even better service. They will share information on international and national family laws, collaborate on cross-border ADR, pool resources as required, and enable Anglo Australian exchanges of lawyers and support staff.
This is believed to be the first such arrangement between leading international family law practices in different continents.
