Samantha Woodham

Spear’s Review

The Divorce Surgery was founded in 2018 by Samantha Woodham and Harry Gates. It has been hailed by peers as being ‘a new and innovative dispute resolution advisory service’ and ‘an important new firm in the family law market’.

‘This business was a long time in the making – from first conception to becoming regulated by the Bar Standards Board,’ Woodham – who is also a barrister at 4 Paper Buildings – tells Spear’s. 

‘Harry and I set it up to try to improve the experiences of divorcing couples everywhere – bearing in mind what we would want for our friends and family. We knew the system could be so much better than it is, and we take considerable pride in the positive client reaction to our service.’
