'Whilst I have very much enjoyed my years at Withers, I am very excited by this new position at Hughes Fowler Carruthers, London’s top niche practice. Both firms are ranked first equal in the directories for family law, enjoy a mutual respect and good working relationship, which I am confident will continue.'

Mark is a recognised expert on trusts and international divorce. He is currently the European Chapter President of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (IAML).
