Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth’s leading family team, which is recognised as one of the largest in the UK, won two awards at the Family Law Awards with the Birmingham team awarded Family Team of the Year. David Lister, an associate in the national law firm’s Leeds office, was named Associate of the Year as another indication of the exceptional reputation the family and divorce law team have garnered.

The Birmingham family and divorce law team at Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth regularly handles a full range of family law work including children cases, Islamic family matters and high-value matrimonial finance issues for high-net-worth individuals and families.

The awards follow a number of recent accolades for the national family team, with National Head of Family Ros Beverhaving been named in eprivateclient's 50 Most Influential List alongside her nominations in two other individual awards. The team is highly ranked in both the Legal 500 and Chambers UK independent guides, with multiple top-tier rankings.

Clare Wiseman, lead partner in Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth’s family law team, said:

“We’re absolutely delighted to have been awarded Family Team of the Year by Family Law, and we’re over the moon for David being awarded Associate of the Year. It’s a great honour to have been recognised on such a national scale.

Across all of our offices, we're proud to have one of the best family teams in the country, which has only been highlighted even further with these two awards.

Myself and my colleagues all work extremely hard at what we do – not just in Birmingham, but across the rest of the offices – to make sure our clients receive the very best service they can hope for. It is wonderful to see this acknowledged by the Family Law Awards and is a great way to round off the year.”
