Brabners has appointed Amanda Long as a  chartered legal executive within its family law team.

Amanda advises on a wide range of family law matters, including divorce and financial settlements, separation disputes and childcare arrangements. She also specialises as a court advocate, providing advice and representing clients in the family court.

She holds more than 20 years of industry experience, and is familiar with the region having previously held roles in Preston and Chorley.

Amanda will be based at the firm's new Bamber Bridge office, which replaced its Preston location earlier this year as the firm doubled in size over the last five years.

Amanda’s appointment will strengthen the firm’s Brabners Personal offering and helps to grow its family law focus in Lancashire.

Amanda said: "I’m Lancashire-born and bred, so I’ve always been passionate about supporting individuals and families across the region as they face what can often be an emotional and challenging time.

“Brabners is a prestigious firm with a caring reputation, and the team’s mission to make the difference for its clients aligns with my own values. I am so pleased to join the firm at a time of significant investment and growth. I look forward to strengthening the team as it extends its offer in the region.”

Helen Marriott, partner and head of family law, said: "Amanda’s track record speaks to her dedication to exemplary client care and a real passion for supporting families in Lancashire. It’s great to have her on board, and yet another positive addition for our team at Bamber Bridge to celebrate this year.”
