The Spear’s Family Law Index is published annually by Spear’s, a leading wealth management and luxury lifestyle publication that serves HNW and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals. The index recognises leading family lawyers who demonstrate exceptional skill and experience in advising wealthy clients on sophisticates and often sensitive family law matters.
