Law firm Freeths has launched its family offering in Leicester with the appointment of Stephanie Kyriacou as Managing Asociate.
Stephanie, who joins from Shakespeare Martineau, will help the firm bolster its legal offering within the East Midlands’ family sector, sitting alongside the well-established family team in Nottingham, which has tripled in size over the last three years.
Stephanie is recognised for her extensive experience in high-net-worth financial remedy divorce cases, having acted for clients with extensive property portfolios, complex asset bases, business owners, directors and doctors over the last 11 years.
Alongside this, she has advised extensively on wealth preservation matters such as pre and post nuptial agreements, for clients who wish to safeguard their assets in the event of relationship breakdown, together with assisting clients with the arrangements for the children.
At Freeths, Stephanie will work closely with Legal Director Nikki Aston who heads up the East Midlands team, and Senior Associate, Stephanie Clifton. This will extend towards Birmingham, covering the whole of the Midlands.
She said: “My new colleagues have already made me feel incredibly welcome and I look forward to playing a part in the firm’s continued growth and success. Nikki has tripled the size of the East Midlands family law offering in less than three years and it’s great to be working alongside her again, together with Stephanie Clifton, who is also exceptional in the family law field.”
Mark Keeley, Partner and Joint Head of Private Client Services, said: “Stephanie’s addition is key as we look to continue growing the practice both across the Midlands and nationally. I am confident that her expertise will help strengthen our offering and continue to provide the high level of client care that our firm prides itself on.”
