Miranda Fisher

Spear’s Review

Charles Russell Speechlys partner Miranda Fisher is known for her HNW family law cases, from prenups to complex financial disputes involving trusts and offshore asset structures. ‘I do a lot of international work, and that’s by virtue of Charles Russell Speechlys being an international law firm,’ she tells Spear’s

Named Family Lawyer of the Year at the 2018 Spear’s Awards, Fisher has ranked as a Top Flight lawyer in the Spear’s Family Law Index since 2020. She has carved out a particular specialism in the international movement of children, including relocation disputes for private individuals and Hague Convention cases.

She reveals that she has noticed more HNWs opting for cohabitation agreements – indicative of a preference among younger generations to avoid marriage (and the possible financial repercussions of a divorce). 

Adviser Profile

Miranda Fisher’s reputation as one of the leading family law specialists in the UK is built on over 25 years of experience, focusing on prenuptial agreements, financial settlement on divorce and arrangements for children after parental separation. She is described as providing ‘the highest-quality advice to very demanding clients’, ‘extremely responsive’ with a ‘superb client manner’ and ‘undoubtedly one of the best family/divorce lawyers in the country’.

The financial cases Miranda deals with often involve trusts, inherited wealth, family businesses, offshore asset structures and the protection of family wealth through pre/postnuptial agreements. She works with the Charles Russell Speechlys Private Client team and the firm’s international offices where appropriate to provide clients with the best possible service on highly complex issues. Miranda is equally adept at dealing with complex financial disputes and the most difficult children cases, including financial claims and arrangements for children of unmarried parents. She acts with discretion, empathy and understanding of the deeply personal issues involved, coupled with a determined and strategic approach, and with the best interests of her clients always in mind.

Miranda regularly advises high-profile clients, including in the sport and media sectors, and is accustomed to dealing with privacy issues. She is highly experienced in international family law cases involving financial issues and the relocation of/arrangements for children, applications to the English Court for financial settlement following divorce proceedings overseas, and jurisdiction disputes, encompassing Eastern and Western Europe, the United States, Asia and the Middle East. She is a fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL).
