Legal 500 2023 noted that I am known for my ‘tactical awareness, tenacity and commercially sensitive approach to complex cases‘.

Chambers & Partners 2023 Ranked Band 1 – they said:

Ross Phillips frequently assists with private children cases, pre-marital agreements and financial disputes.

“He is quite an understanding and calm operator who has sound judgement when it comes to difficult and complex issues.”

“Ross has a great client manner and attention to detail. He is a reassuring presence in difficult financial remedies work.”

About me:-

I joined Goughs as a trainee solicitor and since qualifying, I have worked my way up from solicitor to associate, senior associate and in 2020 I became a partner.

I thrive on obtaining favourable financial settlements for my clients and achieving a fair outcome for parents who may be having difficulties managing childrens’ arrangements with their ex-partners.

I tailor my approach to disputes depending upon the client’s individual needs. I am regularly instructed by those going through an acrimonious separation who require support throughout and often a forensic analysis of assets where money has been dissipated or hidden.

I apply a robust approach to resolve disputes quickly and in the best interests of the client. I give pragmatic and commercial advice at an early stage where there is a risk to one party’s financial security or where the other spouse is seeking to delay, obstruct or frustrate what should otherwise be an amicable reconstruction of the couples’ finances following separation.

I am happy to offer a free 30-minute consultation at short notice and am very willing to be flexible as to the timing of such appointments.

Testimonials:

“Thank you very much for all your help this year, you have been fantastic and everything has run smoothly. My ex and I still get on very well and your service was brilliant. I will miss your friendly voice!”

“For me, divorce was a hugely stressful and difficult time. I had a business that I relied upon and wanted to protect and access to my two children was imperative. The legal world is not one I was overly familiar with however I felt like I needed to act as my divorce was stuck in a cycle of one solicitor writing to the other back and forth like an expensive tennis match with both sides just trying to score points. So I decided to make a change. On a recommendation, I spoke to Ross Phillips, and shortly afterward I instructed him to act for me.

Ross instantly recognised what was important to me and moved to protect that. He was a voice of reason, even protecting me from myself at times. However he always and without question acted in my best interests to achieve for me the best possible result in the shortest possible time scales. To anyone reading this, pick up the phone to Ross – it will be the best decision you make.”

“I engaged Ross Phillips to manage my acrimonious divorce. Having worked with two previous solicitors, I needed someone who would pay attention to detailed aspects of my case to ensure a positive financial outcome for myself and our children.

Ross did not disappoint. He always gave very balanced realistic advice and listened in a compassionate and attentive way when I voiced my concerns. He managed communications with the other party in a direct no-nonsense way to achieve our aims whilst proactively managing costs. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Ross to others and have indeed done so on many occasions since my divorce was settled.”
