Stephensons appoints new Head of Family and Divorce Law

Specialist family solicitor, Victoria Gethin, has been appointed Head of Family and Divorce Law at national law firm Stephensons.

She will take over the position from Mike Devlin, who will continue as a partner within the firm’s family team whilst balancing his latest role as President of the Manchester Law Society.

Victoria – who has been with Stephensons since qualifying as a solicitor in 2002 – is a noted specialist in complex and sensitive children law cases. Her extensive experience in the field includes acting for local authorities, parents and children as well as providing expert consultation to public bodies in matters relating to domestic violence.

She is based at the firm’s Manchester office – one of five across Greater Manchester – which is home to a large number of the team’s partners and specialists in family law. The practice is one of the largest in the country and has a rare depth of specialisms across private and public childcare law, divorce proceedings and all aspects of family and children law.

Victoria said: “It is a real privilege to lead such a dynamic and diverse team which has a much-deserved reputation for the expertise of its solicitors.

“The modern legal sector is very different proposition for family law compared to five years ago. There is much more demand on firms to provide a wide range of specialisms; to meet the clients expectations in the services we provide – whether face-to-face or on-the-move – and to make sure that our services are available to as many as possible through flexible fee options.

“Stephensons continues to flourish in this regard and I am relishing the opportunity to head the department as we continue to provide the best possible legal service for our clients.”
