THE FIRM 

Hall Brown is an multi-award winning boutique family law firm in Manchester, London, Sheffield and Leeds offering best-in-class advice on a full range of family law services. Every member of the team, from Partner to Personal Assistant has been handpicked with the aim of offering clients the highest level of legal expertise, service, and the best possible outcome. They specialise in all areas of private family law. Every lawyer is recruited from or worked at a ‘top tier’ family law team. All partners are recognised as leading experts in family law.

Hall Brown Family Law was established in April 2016 by Sam Hall and James Brown with the aim of delivering outstanding service and excellent family law advice to clients.Prior to establishing the firm, Sam and James had been recognised as being amongst the best family lawyers in the country by the leading legal directories.

The Hall Brown team pride themselves on providing the same level of care and service no matter who the client is. They have acted in a large number of complex and high-profile cases, representing clients in the Supreme Court, and regularly acting for celebrities and sports-stars.This is not, however, all they do.The hardest cases are not necessarily those involving large amounts of money or media interest.Hall Brown has extensive experience dealing with an entire spectrum of families from the Magistrates Court up to the Supreme Court.

During their combined 30 years+ of family law practice, James and Sam have developed deeply-held beliefs about what clients should be able to expect from their family lawyer – beliefs that are shared by every single member of the team. They share a desire to focus on the quality of work and level of service they provide. Their decision to set up their own firm was driven by their desire to have the freedom to invest the time, care and attention they believe clients should be given. In establishing Hall Brown they have gathered around them a team of talented lawyers and support staff – all of whom have trained at or worked at firms regarded to be amongst the best in the country.
