Joanne Edwards
Spear’s Review
‘One of the value-adds with our team in particular is we try to imbue in our lawyers, from an early stage, the importance of good client service,’ says Joanne Edwards, head of the family practice at Forsters.
UHNW and high-profile clients come to Edwards for her expertise in the issues that arise from divorce or separation, including child arrangements and complex financial matters – which often involve international elements. She is also called upon to draw up nuptial agreements for the world’s most influential leaders.
While Edwards has extensive experience of taking cases to court when needed, she is also a trained mediator and collaborative lawyer, and advocates a forward-thinking approach to divorce and separation. ‘I will always ask couples about their relationship during the marriage, and how they resolved disputes during the marriage,’ she tells Spear’s.
