National law firm Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth has boosted the ranks of its Bristol-based family law team with the appointment of Marjha Golding-Evans.
Marjha, pictured, who qualified in 2010, joins as an associate having previously been head of the family team at Bristol-based legacy firm Burroughs Day.
Marjha undertakes a wide range of family and divorce law matters, including high net worth matrimonial finance matters and contested divorces. Her experience in financial matters includes business interests, complex trusts, multi-property multi million-pound disputes.
Her background in care work also gives her a unique foundation in cases involving children, including international relocation disputes, contested Children Act matters and international child abduction issues.
She is a member of Resolution, the national organisation of family lawyers committed to non-confrontational divorce, separation and other family problems, and is undertaking specialised accreditation for complex matrimonial finance work.
Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth’s highly regarded family law team is headed by Bristol-based partner Nicola Walker and also has a major presence in London and West Midlands. It is ranked in leading independent legal directories The Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners as a top-tier firm.
Nicola Walker said: “We are delighted to be expanding our team with the addition of Marjha, who has an excellent track record having previously led a team.
“Marjha’s experience will allow us to service the South West region and our clients even more effectively, as well as strengthen the wider national family law team.
“We are going through an exciting period of growth at Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth and I know Marjha will be a great asset to the team, both here in Bristol and nationally.”
Sheffield-headquartered Irwin Mitchell has 14 offices across the UK. Burroughs Day was bought out of administration by Bristol law firm Metcalfes Solicitors in January. Metcalfes itself was then taken over by Gordon Dadds Group, the acquisitive legal and professional services business.
