Ros Bever

Spear’s Review

Ever since the landmark Supreme Court decisions of Sharland and Gohil, two 2015 cases which saw wives winning against dishonest husbands, enquiries have ‘streamed in’ for Ros Bever, ‘many from clients of rival law firms seeking second opinions’. ‘I am committed to achieving justice for my clients and I am a fighter when I need to be,’ she says.

The head of Irwin Mitchell’s national family department favours creative solutions, where they can result in a better outcome. She believes the efficiency of arbitration can sometimes trump the fees, adding that clients have the advantage of choosing from a healthy crop of experienced FDR judges who can ‘align objective with reality’. It’s important to have a trusted solicitor by your side, Bever adds, as ‘navigating the current system can be tricky’.
