Katherine Res Pritchard

Spear's Review

Katherine Res Pritchard, formerly of Vardags, is now partner in the family team at Howard Kennedy.

She specialises in children law, both domestic and international, as well as child abduction, removal from the jurisdiction and internal and external relocation. Her work is described as ‘urgent’ and ‘emotive’, and she is recognised for often providing support to parents that goes beyond her legal remit.

A family lawyer who has worked exclusively on children work for nine years, Res Pritchard has a reputation for ‘winning cases deemed unwinnable by other lawyers’, according to her firm. She has had numerous successful reported cases and notably advised the Times columnist Sophie Beresiner on her surrogacy journey, about which Beresiner later wrote a book, The Mother Project.
