Leading family lawyer Margaret Simpson and barrister Ian Kennerley are to establish a new specialist family law practice, Silk Family Law in autumn 2010, which will operate from offices in Newcastle and North Yorkshire.
Margaret and Ian are currently partners at Dickinson Dees LLP. It is expected that existing family law clients will become clients of the new firm.
“Dickinson Dees LLP has developed the most respected and unique family law team in the North East complete with in-house counsel and it is a natural progression for this to become a free standing specialist practice. We will work closely with Margaret and Ian to ensure a smooth transition for our clients and intend to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with Silk Family Law which I am confident has a strong future”
Jonathan Blair
Managing partner at Dickinson Dees
“We are determined that our existing clients will continue to receive the very high standards of service they have enjoyed as clients of Dickinson Dees and we are looking forward to building on this success”
“We know there is a growing demand for good quality family legal advice across the North of England and we have a first rate team to respond to that growth as an independent business”
