Kelly Edwards

Spear’s Review

Kelly Edwards is the founder and managing partner of Edwards Family Law, a specialist high-net-worth divorce firm based in London. She worked at Sears Tooth for 13 years and spent time at Vardags before setting up on her own in 2019. ‘The benefits of being a boutique, small firm are that we are able to be quite dynamic and flexible on costs,’ she tells Spear’s. 

Focusing on family law for individuals with substantial and often complex financial affairs, the team at Edwards has a great deal of experience in financial solutions, multiple jurisdictions, trusts, family business, allegations of fraud and non-disclosure, and the valuation of large assets. Recently, Edwards has seen an increase in cases involving elements of cryptocurrency and where parties are involved in complicated private equity portfolios.

Clients include entrepreneurs, sportspeople, business owners, senior executives and foreign nationals – including many from the Middle East.

Notable case

• RI v NG [2025] EWFC 9 (B)
• BC v DE [2016] EWHC 1806 (Fam) 

Adviser Profile

Managing Partner of Edwards Family Law (set up in 2019), Kelly advises a range of HNW and UHNW individuals. Kelly is regularly consulted in relation to high-value, often international, multifaceted financial matters often involving business valuations, offshore and often elaborate assets and trusts, large property portfolios and issues of non-disclosure. 

Kelly is favoured by her clients for her tough, no-nonsense and direct approach and prides herself on giving clear and honest advice from the outset, rather than sugar-coating just to win the client. As a consequence, Kelly often takes on clients from other solicitors where their cases have been left to meander without progress or a clear strategy in place.
