Partner and Head of Family Law at Howes Percival, Justine Flack commented,
We are absolutely delighted to welcome Amanda to Howes Percival. She is very well regarded in our sector and the area and brings London expertise to the firm at regional rates. Amanda’s appointment enables us to establish a dedicated family law team in Oxford to serve clients in and around the city and her experience and enthusiasm will also help support others coming into the team to promote the firm’s broader offering in the area.
The Family team is growing nationally to bolster the service offering we provide to our clients in each of our regions and to support the high level of instructions which we are receiving. We are seeing a rise in popularity of pre and post nuptial agreements and Amanda’s experience in working with high net worth individuals with complex requirements makes her well placed to advise our clients in this area.
James Howarth, Partner and Head of Howes Percival’s Oxford office, commented,
Amanda is a great person to have on board, on both a personal and professional level. Acquiring someone with her expertise in matrimonial matters is very pleasing, as we look to build a compelling offering for people requiring legal services in and around Oxford. I am delighted that Amanda has chosen Howes Percival as the best home for her thriving practice.
Howes Percival’s newest regional office was created in January 2024, following the acquisition of Oxford based specialist commercial, IP & media law firm Maier Blackburn. Maier Blackburn was founded in 2012 and has a notable reputation in the media and entertainment field, acting for high-profile clients based in the UK, Europe and the US, including the Tolkien Estate.
In April 2024, Howes Percival announced the appointment of Oxford-based commercial law and technology specialist Max Windich and the move to larger offices within its existing building to accommodate the growing team.
