About Burgess Mee Family Law

Burgess Mee is an award-winning boutique family law firm with offices in Clapham and Liverpool Street, acting for UHNW and HNW clients, high-profile individuals, professionals, and entrepreneurs.

With four in-house mediators, two collaboratively trained solicitors, and two Resolution Together practitioners, the team of 16 lawyers across three offices is consistently ranked Band 1 for Children Law and Band 2 for Matrimonial Finance HNW by Chambers UK, and Tier 1 by the Legal 500.
