Over the past 18 months, the Family department at Newcastle based Mincoffs Solicitors has seen the team double in size in order to service client needs.
The four-strong team, headed up by prominent lawyer Lyn Rutherford, is able to provide clients with a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of Family law, as well as being able to call upon other departments in the firm to provide a one stop’ service.
Last year, the team brought in highly experienced Family Law Solicitor Rachel Smith as well as welcoming consultant Tim Gray, known as one of Newcastle’s most highly rated and respected lawyers. Associate Emily Cannell continues to be a strong team member and featured as an Associate to watch’ in the latest edition of Chambers and Partners. Legal Assistants Stephanie Farham and Wendy Davison complete the team.
The expertise of the team is renowned within the North East and further afield, with their tenacious yet sensitive and supportive approach often sought after by many high profile clients and complex cases.
Lyn Rutherford, who has over 40 years’ experience in Family law, stated “I am delighted the team has grown to what it is today. The individuals in our team are extremely able and experienced, so clients can rest assured in the knowledge they’re in safe hands! ”
“Tim Gray has been focussing on business development for the family department, which has worked extremely well. I think it’s fair to say we’re fairly unique in the sense that not many firms can boast of the combined level of expertise we currently have.”
Emily Cannell added “the efficiency of our team is key and we always aim to go the extra mile for our clients in order to meet their desired outcome. I am positive the team will continue to expand and we’re all excited for what the future holds.”

– Divorce and Relationship breakdown

– Civil partnership disputes
– Cohabitation agreements and disputes
– Arrangements for children
