That’s according to Partner Caroline Swain, who represents well-known celebrities in multi-million pound disputes and also works on children disputes, grandparents’ rights cases, civil partnerships, injunctions and cohabitation disputes.

The 31-year-old, who works closely with fellow BPS Family Law Partners Sefton Kwasnik and Harry Lipson, puts the growth over the past 12 months down to the company’s ‘unique commitment to customer service and care’.

She also said the company is on the brink of launching a new website and a freshly refurbished office.

Caroline, a former Sale Grammar School pupil who studied Law at Manchester Metropolitan University, said: “We operate as a company between offices in Hale and Manchester city centre. But BPS Family Law is headquartered in Hale with the refurbishment of the office due to be completed within the next month.

“Myself and Sefton agree that in this era you need to be flexible and put their needs above your own.

“We all know full-well that clients want a solicitor who knows the case and has built up the case for them.”

The mum-of-two, who lives in Warrington, added: “We want to work with them on a realistic and pure basis – I don’t think a lot of the bigger firms do that.

“A lot of family departments in legal firms focus on the break-up of couples or families.

“We want to do something a bit different – offer members of the public the best possible service for their particular need in the most compassionate, caring way that they could receive it.

“Family law for instance has a strong association with ‘divorce’ and ‘making money out of misery’. But our work shows that isn’t the case. The holistic situation for any family is what matters most and that is our passion.”

While Harry is the senior matrimonial partner, Sefton, a former Altrincham Grammar School student, has enjoyed almost four decades in law – and once represented one of the main protagonists during the infamous trial following the Strangeways Riots.

As a partner at BPS Family Law he represents clients who face criminal proceedings brought against them or their businesses, advises family members who have lost a loved one both at inquest hearings and in pursuit of civil justice, and also advises medical professionals and people who have survived serious accidents.

Sefton, a former chairman of Unicorn Athletic Junior Football Club in Altrincham, said: “We work around people. In this day and age you have to be flexible. I will help people them from 7am until midnight if that’s what is needed. I’m also available at weekends – it’s far from a 9am until 5pm offering.”

He added: “If clients want me to ring them after Coronation Street – not during because I like the show – then fine. It’s what the public and professionals want.”

“People need steering through the choppy waters that they can face in life.

“Our approach is based on being sensitive and caring. We are not about cashing in on people’s upset. It’s about achieving the best possible outcome for families.”

The new BPS Family Law website is now up and running and its team of six solicitors are gearing up for the company’s sixth anniversary.
