Edward Floyd

Spear’s Review

Despite the pandemic, the last few years have seen no let up for Edward Floyd, a partner at Farrer & Co.

As much of London was shutting down, the internationally minded lawyer was holding remote hearings in an acrimonious Anglo-Iranian case, before flying to Moscow to meet with a client’s local legal team – the latter resulting in a successful application to bring an English financial claim following a Russian divorce.

Speaking both Russian and French (and well-connected in both countries), Floyd’s non-UK clients value his ability to anticipate and address the ‘culture clash’ that can take place when the ‘blunt instrument of English law’ collides with complex family arrangements, particularly in cases involving dynastic wealth. Colleagues, meanwhile, testify to his hard work and diligent preparation.

‘I am not a great believer in what others might call “blind legal instinct”,’ he says. ‘There really is no substitute for a considered approach and getting on top of detail.’ 

Floyd is a member of Resolution, and co-editor of the England and Wales chapter of Thomson Reuters’ Family Law – A Global Guide.
