lawyers in the South-East to make it into the top tier of the league table.

Marilyn said: “It’s a great honour to join esteemed fellow professionals in the Legal 500 Hall of Fame and I’m thrilled to receive the recognition. I’d like to thank my fellow family team colleagues and those in the wider firm who, along with support from excellent counsel in leading London Chambers, enable me to deliver outstanding results for clients in the most complex and difficult situations.”

The Hall of Fame recognises lawyers at the very top of the profession, who are widely known and respected by peers and clients for their longstanding involvement in market-leading work.

The Legal 500 2025 rankings help private clients and business leaders to identify the best lawyers based on current, comprehensive research.

Marilyn specialises in family law which includes divorce and the difficulties that arise because of relationship breakdown and all issues relating to children. She is an accredited mediator for adults and children, a qualified collaborative lawyer and accredited in advanced financial provision and advocacy financial provision.

SA Law’s family department has also been ranked in the top tier for the eighth consecutive year, and partner Kiran Beeharry and senior associates Simran Gupta and Julie Cohen have also been listed as recommended family lawyers.

Across the firm, 17 lawyers have been ranked or recommended in their fields in The Legal 500 2025 results, and five departments are ranked in tier one or tier two in the South-East league table.

For most people, Christmas and the New Year is a time of joy and great fun. We get to spend time with our family and loved ones, overindulge, exchange gifts and create long lasting memories.

Sounds perfect doesn’t it?

Unfortunately, this is not the case for everyone. For many, the holiday period can be an incredibly anxious time - and sadly, this can lead people to really fear it.

Increased stress and financial pressures, excess alcohol and family arguments can all translate into an increased risk of domestic abuse.

Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline is here for you if things do escalate in your life.

We offer FREE and confidential support and signposting service to anyone affected by domestic abuse.

The Helpline is open over the holiday period if you need to speak to us - and we also have a confidential email service if calling is not an option.

Employers have a duty of care and a legal responsibility to provide a safe and effective work environment. Spotting the signs is the first step to supporting those in need. We can provide vital training sessions for your employees in the new year.
