Silk Family Law is the North’s leading specialist family law firm, with a formidable reputation and unrivalled broad-ranging experience.

Operating from offices in the heart of Newcastle city centre and North Yorkshire (close to the A1), the firm comprises the former and well established Dickinson Dees family law team.

Within Dickinson Dees, the team built an enviable reputation renowned for its expertise in handling complex and high value financial cases arising out of divorce and separation.

The same practitioners now offer their specialist experience, providing advice and representation in all types of matrimonial and family cases, with particular reference to cases involving corporate, farming and pension issues.

The firm is led by barrister Ian Kennerley and Margaret Simpson (two former Dickinson Dees partners) and Kim Fellowes, a former Dickinson Dees director.

Ian's involvement in the firm makes Silk the first practice in the North East with a leading in-house barrister, whose advice throughout cases helps to facilitate an expeditious and cost-effective outcome for clients.
