Family law expert will spearhead VWV team
FAMILY law specialist and partner Lucy Barr has joined the Birmingham office of national law firm VWV to spearhead a new service.
She has experience of advising on areas such as pre- and post-nuptial agreements, divorce, matters concerning children, international relocation and co-habiting.
Ms Barr joins VWV from Harrison Clark Rickerbys, having previously worked at Mercy Messenger.
She is also a member of the Birmingham Breakfast Rotary Club and is currently assisting with a charitable venture called Shelter Bus which it is hoped will provide refuge to those sleeping rough in the city and alleviate some of the pressure on charities.
She is also a member of the Institute of Directors.
VWV’s managing partner Simon Heald said: “We are delighted to welcome Lucy to the firm.
“I am confident that she will build on the current growth that we are experiencing in our Birmingham office, including our private client team.
“Lucy’s arrival is testament to our commitment to support clients in the Birmingham area, with the added option of now offering family law.”
Ms Barr added: “I am very much looking forward to the new challenge of setting up the family department in the Birmingham office.
“There is a great deal of work in Birmingham and family will complement VWV’s highlyregarded private client team perfectly.”
