Paul Newton

Spear’s Review

After 13 years at Clintons, Paul Newton founded Newton Kearns with Patrick Kearns in 2017, and now leads a vibrant family law practice at the Holborn-based firm.

Newton specialises in the resolution of financial matters on divorce, as well as in the preservation of wealth within the family – a significant part of his practice is drawing up pre- and postnuptial agreements.

He emphasises the firm’s partner-led approach: ‘I would like to think that we are a leading boutique firm, so we provide a different service that the client would get or might seek at one of the much larger firms.

‘We treat people like human beings; we treat people fairly ... and we’re not without a dash of humour or empathy.’
