Emily leads the Family Department at Boodle Hatfield - a team renowned for their 'exceptional legal finesse combined with an ability to vigorously defend [their] client’s best interests in a calm and measured way'. Harriet Errington has led on a number of substantial family matters for a mixture of UK and international clients, while Alexandra Hirst represents clients on cases with complex asset structures and offshore elements. At the beginning of each chapter, for example, there are short narrative passages - perhaps recounting Isabella’s passionate feelings for her lover or evoking a storm at sea - which have an almost cinematic quality to them. Although over the years I have changed subject matter, I have always maintained an interest in the use of colour and light and find it amazing how one person can view a colour so differently from another, and the fact that we have limited colour vision – what are we missing?

Brand, a young historian specialising in eighteenth-century romance, traces the many ways that historical events cut across their lives, complete with observations from family acquaintances Horace Walpole and Samuel Johnson. She is widely respected for her combination of compassion for her clients’ unique circumstances and intelligent problem-solving. Her pandemic-published first major work, The Fall of the House of Byron , was selected as BBC Radio 4’s 'Book of the Week', and as a 'Book of the Year' by the The Sunday Times, The Mail on Sunday and BBC History Magazine.

Her book The Fall of the House of Byron (John Murray, 2020) is a sweeping history of the 18th century through the eyes of one notorious family. Rather, Brand’s story brings to the forefront a series of eccentric and fascinating figures who each have their own remarkable stories, but who have perhaps since been eclipsed by the reputation of their more famous descendant.

Luckily for us, so does Sarah Dent, who has reviewed for the blog Emily Brand's game-changing family study of the Byrons. In the New Law Journal, Family Partner, Harriet Errington highlights the wide-ranging powers of the English court to intervene following foreign divorce proceedings and the power of Pt III applications. I managed to get my first solo exhibition the year I left teaching at the Ripley Arts Centre in Bromley and have since been part of several group exhibitions.
