Annabel Andreou's news

What Clients Say

  • Annabel did an amazing job dealing with a very unpredictable ex-wife and navigated her very cleverly. She was very calm and dealt with everything very well. She is obviously very experienced and clever and I am sure the firm knows how lucky it is to have her. We were very lucky to get her as our lawyer.

    Client

  • Annabel had a great deal of both experience and patience, both of which (I imagine) she needed alot of over the year with my case. I have had negative interactions with lawyers in the past and was very nervous and anxious. Annabel was importantly, very kind and considerate with me, and went over things many times for my benefit. I really felt that while always being professional, she was dedicated to fighting for me. I’m hugely indebted to her for being able to bring a successful resolution for myself and my ex-partner, and now thanks purely to her, I am able to have a meaningful relationship with my daughter, with weekly contact and more involvement in her life. Annabel is an incredible lawyer, it is clear she is on top of her game, and I would have no hesitation again to request her services again if I had to.

    Client

    Christian Hughes

  • Annabel Andreou is excellent. Her grasp of financial matters is deep and well-beyond her years. Annabel very swiftly laid my fears to rest. Not only was she highly professional, but very courteous, friendly, empathetic. Her legal work is impressive, she is very clear about our aims and next steps, and handled the other party with diplomacy and tact. I would never have gotten anywhere without her help.
