The team was launched in 2021 by head of family law Paul Linsell. He said: "I’ve always believed that you can “do divorce differently”.
"Throughout my career, I wanted to reimagine how things are done; to do things better by always putting children and the family you’re helping first.
"We welcome the new NCDR rules, and they align so much with Boyes Turner’s existing approach to family law. With the growing team, I’m looking forward to being able to help even more individuals and families."
Recent changes to the family procedure rules (FPR) see a significant shift towards “non-court dispute resolution” (NCDR) and are expected to lead to an increase in demand for the firm's services, it was reported.
Barry Stanton, managing partner at Boyes Turner added: "As a law firm, it’s easy to use words like “disruptive” but Paul’s always sought new, more progressive ways to work with families, to help them through very difficult life events.
"We’re delighted with what he and the team have achieved, as Boyes Turner becomes the go-to family team in the region."
