Boardman, Hawkins & Osborne Legal 500 Success
BH&O LLP goes ‘from strength to strength’, and is recommended for its strength in care proceedings, adoption, and finances, often representing unmarried couples.
Both Ruth Hawkins and Karen Newman offer mediation. Ruth Hawkins forms part of the firm’s four-strong leadership team, regularly advising on complex children matters involving kinship care, advice for vulnerable mothers in care proceedings, and children separately represented in complex litigation. Emily Boardman is ’fiercely bright’, standing out for her work involving non-accidental injuries and adoption. Irena Osborne is a key name for international matters, often involving domestic abuse, and Helen Bishop heads the firm’s private matrimonial team. The Firm is based in Abingdon.
Congratulations from everyone in the B4 community on your success.
