Experienced Family And Divorce Lawyer Joins Yorkshire Team

Irwin Mitchell continues to expand its market-leading family team, as highly experienced Partner Teresa Davidson joins the firm’s Leeds office.

The law firm’s Family Law team is ranked number one in the independent Legal 500 and Chambers 2016 UK guides to the best lawyers. The team has also recently secured a landmark unanimous victory at the Supreme Court on behalf of two wives whose husbands had misled the courts as to the value of their assets.

Teresa Davidson joins Irwin Mitchell from Ward Hadaway and has more than sixteen years’ experience specialising in financial disputes following relationship breakdowns and divorce with a particular interest in civil partnership cases. Her clients include business owners, entrepreneurs, farmers and professionals such as doctors and dentists.

Teresa is also a specialist accredited member of Resolution in the areas of financial provision and private children law. The appointment will provide further experience for Irwin Mitchell’s growing private and international client base.

Commenting on her appointment, Martin Loxley, National Head of Family Law at Irwin Mitchell, said: “Teresa is an excellent family lawyer working on complex cases to get the best results for her clients. She is a great addition to our national network of family lawyers across the country.

“It’s important that as an innovative firm, we continue to invest in people with a wide range of expertise and specialist skills. Teresa certainly fits the bill and complements our existing team very well. She will no doubt be an asset to the family department, not just in Leeds but also nationally.”

Irwin Mitchell has also recently merged with Thomas Eggar which has a strong private client practice in the London and the South East providing yet more strength to the Family Law team nationally.
