Barbara Reeves
Spear’s Review
Barbara Reeves, Mishcon de Reya’s former head of family – now succeeded by Kate Clark – has been described 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 multi-disciplinary experts on diverse issues including surrogacy and addiction within families.
Reeves’ previous career as a corporate lawyer brings an innovative approach to her work. Her clients include City entrepreneurs, family offices, trustees and 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.
