South Coast: Paris Smith family law team in line for awards

 The family law team at Paris Smith LLP, made up of 10 specialist family lawyers based in Southampton and Winchester, has been shortlisted for two awards in the forthcoming 2016 Jordan Publishing Family Law Awards.

Rachel Osgood and Sarah Passemard, who have partnered one another at Paris Smith for nine years, have been jointly nominated for Family Law Partner of the year. Their nomination recognises the success of their modern and collegiate approach which has demonstrated the positive benefits of flexible working for clients and provided a role model for junior lawyers.

The family team as a whole has also been shortlisted for the Family Law Firm of the Year (South). The team has been consistently highly ranked in Chambers and The Legal 500 over many years. Head of department Frank Prior, Huw Miles, and Neil Davies in addition to Passemard and Osgood, have been recognised individually for their expertise. 

Managing partner Peter Taylor commented: "At Paris Smith we are justifiably proud of our specialist family law team which continues to grow and develop.”
