Associate Erin Sawyer Joins Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth’s Family Team In Bristol

Associate and family law expert Erin Sawyer has joined the family team in Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth’s Bristol office.

Erin built her practice in Cheltenham, having qualified in 2011. Erin has experience in undertaking a full range of family and divorce matters including financial remediation mandates, cohabitation disputes and pre-marital agreements among others.

Erin, who is originally from Washington DC, routinely accepts instructions in international, cross-border and ex-pat divorces. She has a Masters of Law (LLM) in International Business Law, and is therefore uniquely qualified to handle family affairs concerning family-owned SME companies and partnerships, as well as large shareholdings in private and publicly-listed companies. 

In addition to family work, Erin accepts instructions in relation to professional negligence claims emanating from advice and representation received by clients within financial proceedings on divorce, and with regard to cohabitation disputes which have arisen as a result of negligent advice on the cohabitees’ purchase of a property.
