Meet the legal minds behind the scenes: The Judges, Barristers, and Solicitors.
At whatwouldajudgesay.com, we believe that if you’re seeking a judge’s opinion on how assets should be divided in a divorce, you should know exactly who those judges are and the legal minds guiding the process. Our commitment to excellence means that every financial disclosure document submitted by our clients isn’t just passed blindly to a judge. Instead, it undergoes a meticulous review by the expert solicitors at Paradigm Family Law, who ensure all forms are correct and no mistakes have been made before crafting a comprehensive ‘brief to counsel.’
This brief provides a summary of the key issues in the case, includes any specific questions our clients wish to ask, and presents relevant legal precedents. Only then does the judge review the case and deliver a written opinion that outlines precisely how the family assets should be split.
Why We Work With Judges
Our judges are barristers who also sit as deputy judges in the Family Law Courts. This means that when you receive a legal opinion from whatwouldajudgesay.com, you are getting guidance from the most authoritative voice in family law; someone who has the final say in court. The authority of a judge is undeniable, and their insight can provide clarity and confidence in what would otherwise be a complex and uncertain process.
Our judges come from some of the most prestigious chambers in the UK and internationally, with experience spanning the UK, Hong Kong, Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada, and other Commonwealth jurisdictions. Many of our clients are unaware that their case is being reviewed by some of the most senior legal minds in the field.
