Barbara Reeves

Spear’s Review

Barbara Reeves, former head of family at Mishcon de Reya, has been described by industry peers as a ‘complete star’. Her practice covers complex big-money cases, often with cross-border considerations involving trusts and corporate issues, as well as domestic and international children work.

She also advises collaboratively with a trusted cohort of multidisciplinary experts on diverse issues including surrogacy and addiction in families.

Reeves’ previous career as a corporate lawyer means she brings an innovative approach to her work. Her clients include City entrepreneurs, family offices, trustees, corporate directors and well-known figures from the media and the arts. ‘Clients now seek a multifaceted and flexible approach from lawyers who possess a breadth and depth of skills and experience in dealing with sensitive and complex family issues,’ she says.
