Ex-england star joins board of divorce lawyers

FORMER RAMS AND LIVERPOOL PLAYER MARK WRIGHT ADDS HIS WEIGHT TO NW LEICS FIRM

A FORMER England footballer and FA Cup winner with Liverpool has joined the board of directors at a divorce lawyer firm.

Mark Wright, who made 45 appearance­s for England and also 144 for Derby County, has joined the board at Fair Result, a divorce firm based in North West Leicesters­hire

Wright, who won the FA Cup with Liverpool in 1992, said he wished he had been aware of the firm when he went through his own divorce.

He said: “I wish I’d met Fair Result years ago when I went through my own divorce.

“Their no-nonsense approach to evaluating what’s available, and immediatel­y negotiatin­g a fair split of all the family assets, should be the template for how things are done moving forward.”

Fair Result director and co-founder Chris Sweetman said: “We are delighted to welcome Mark to the board, and look forward to benefiting from his support and influence as we seek to change the face of the divorce industry. He has his own personal experience of divorce and is especially passionate about ensuring children are protected in family breakup situations.

“He also approves of our system of negotiatin­g a fair and equal division of a family’s assets as quickly as possible for one fixed fee, quoted at the outset.”

Since retiring from football, Wright has spent many years as a foster care advocate, having fostered a three-year-old girl in 2008.

Mark said he was aware of the financial strain expensive divorce proceeding­s put on families.

He said: “I wish I had been quoted a fixed price right at the start in the way that Fair Result do.

“It would’ve made for a much more painless, and less expensive, divorce.”

We look forward to benefiting from Mark’s influence as we seek to change the face of the divorce industry. Chris Sweetman
