Firm hires: Hodge Jones & Allen appoints three partners

London law firm Hodge Jones & Allen has welcomed partners Sarah Norman-Scott, Raj Bhattoa and Phoebe Hill to its family law team.

Norman-Scott, who joins from Osbornes Law, covers divorce and finances, cohabitation, and private children’s law matters (including relocation) for high net-worth individuals. She is co-chair of Resolution’s Litigants in Person Working Group and an accredited specialist in finances on divorce and Trust of Land and Appointment of Trustees matters. 

Bhattoa joins from Stowe Family Law and has been recognised for her work in high-net-worth financial matters, post/prenuptial agreements, and private children law. Her practice also has an international focus, with a niche in representing privately funded clients in public law.

Hill, who also joins from Stowe Family Law, focuses on matrimonial, financial, cohabitation, and children’s matters. She is Resolution accredited for private law children, cohabitation and Trust of Land and Appointment of Trustees matters.

Vanessa Friend, head of family law at Hodge Jones & Allen, said: 'The arrival of such high-calibre lawyers as Raj, Phoebe and Sarah marks an exciting milestone for our team and the firm. I am incredibly excited to work with them and know that our clients will benefit from their expertise. They are lawyers who focus on the best outcomes for the client and consider carefully how to reach a resolution as early and cost effectively as possible.'
