Susan Howarth & Co News

A Decade of Excellence in Family Law

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our 10th consecutive year of recognition in The Legal 500, maintaining our position as a Band 3 Leading Firm for Family Law in the North West.

Victoria Poole has retained her Band 3 ranking as a Leading Partner, while Nicola Deakin, Sonia Rickard and David Bannister have all been recognised as Recommended Lawyers.

The Legal 500 praises the team’s work for private individuals across divorce, children matters and cases involving domestic violence and abuse, highlighting the depth of experience and expertise within the practice.

We celebrate this success in conjunction with Founder and Director Susan Howarth having been previously ranked herself in the prestigious Hall of Fame for 4 consecutive years, in recognition of her being at the very top of her profession.

Having since stepped back from managing day-to-day client cases to focus solely on the firm’s strategy and management for the future, Susan commented: “Being recognised by The Legal 500 for the tenth consecutive year is a tremendous achievement and a real testament to the dedication, expertise and compassion of our Family Law team. I’m particularly proud to see Victoria, Nicola, Sonia and David recognised for the work they do for our clients. Having built the practice over almost 30 years, I’m delighted to focus on guiding the firm’s future while our talented team continues to deliver the high standards of advice and support our clients deserve.”
