Anna Worwood

Spear's Review

Partner at Penningtons Manches Cooper, Anna Worwood considers herself something of a perfectionist. ‘I always aim for the best in my work,’ she tells Spear's, outlining that this means clients must not only receive a truly ‘first class’ service, but ultimately must be represented by a lawyer who is prepared to strive for their best outcome, whatever the circumstances. She further notes: 'I want my clients to know they can trust me to guide and support them through what can be one of the most traumatic and difficult experiences of their lives.' 

Worwood began her career at Manches in 2001, rising to partner within five years. When the firm merged to become Penningtons Manches in 2013, she became an integral part of one of London’s fastest growing family law teams.

Adviser profile

Anna became head of the family department of Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP in March 2022. Her succession has been received very favourably across the family law world. 

Anna acts for high net worth clients in both financial and children cases. She is well known for her work in cases concerning international child relocation, and co-authored the first comprehensive guide on the subject. She is also General Editor of the Global Guide to Relocation Law. Anna chairs the Relocation Committee of the IAFL. 

Having earned a seat at the top table, Anna hopes her example as a highly-regarded lawyer in a top-ranked family firm will serve as encouragement to younger women entering the field.
