On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Law firm Howes Percival has appointed Joanne Wilbraham as a solicitor in its Leicester Family Law team.
Wilbraham specialises in all areas of family law including separation, divorce, financial proceedings, arrangements for children and cohabitation matters. She is a member of Resolution and strives to achieve the best outcome for her clients using a conciliatory approach. She joins Howes Percival from niche family law firm, Glynis Wright and Co.
Justine Flack, head of the Family Law team in Leicester said: “I am delighted to welcome Joanne to Howes Percival, she’s a really strong addition to the team. Joanne is very client focused and likes to tailor her approach to meet the needs of clients on an individual basis.
“Our Family Team has a powerful offering in the East Midlands, in particular in the area of financial advice on divorce and relationship breakdown. We have developed a specific expertise in complex financial cases particularly those involving businesses, offshore assets, pensions and jurisdictional issues. We’ve also seen a marked increase in cases where couples are looking to protect themselves and their assets through cohabitation agreements or ‘pre-nups’.”
