Kate Rayner and her team managed my divorce.
If anyone tells you that there’s such a thing as an amicable divorce, forget it, it’s a myth. Kate and her team are no nonsense and understanding. They smoothly navigated me through the turmoil. Advice is what you need when under such a stressful time and Kate doesn’t disappoint. Kate is empathetic, to the point and efficient, at the same time as being on your side. Which is important when you’re going through all this emotional mess. The terms of business are clear and it’s easy to make payment. I can’t recommend Kate highly enough. When the proverbial s*** hits the fan. You need a calm, clear, efficient and experienced professional at the helm. Thank you Kate you have been all of those things. Rob.

The day I met Kate Raynor was a life changing moment.
My divorce was very difficult and I was supported brilliantly throughout from both a legal and empathetic perspective. Kate and her team were beyond professional, always there for me and I know they genuinely cared not only about achieving the best outcome but actually about me and my well-being. On reflection I feel extremely lucky and proud to be represented by such an intelligent “winning” team - I was introduced to the perfect combination in terms of Barrister and QC. Impeccable approach, manner and calm communication throughout . The firm’s approach was to achieve the best outcome with the utmost dignity in addition to unmatched legal expertise. I have able to move on with my life, extremely happy with not only my financial resolution but more importantly enriched from what I have learnt and the kindness and care I received.

Can't recommend them enough
I've had a fantastic experience with Thomas Mansfield, I was looked after by two solicitors - Alice and then Kate, both were fantastic - answered my questions quickly, really helpful and friendly and very efficient. I've had a completely different and far better experience than other solicitors I've used and I can't recommend them highly enough.
