Training and experience

Specialisms

I specialise in Divorce, Separation, Financial Relief, Nuptial Agreements, Private Children Act matters and Domestic Violence.

Approach

My approach is very client focused, ensuring my clients feel supported and have a realistic expectation of the outcome of their case. I understand that for most clients, going through the breakdown of a relationship and issues in connection with it, is likely to be one of the toughest periods of their lives. I am keen to ensure my client’s needs are prioritised, they feel supported and a conciliatory, swift resolution is achieved where possible.

Accreditations, memberships & awards

I am a Resolution member and hold the Resolution specialist accreditation in Children Law and Complex Financial Remedies. I hold the Law Society Advanced Family Law accreditation for Domestic Violence and Children Law. I have received Legal 500 recommendations in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

2021 “Priyal Patel knows every detail of her cases and is an extremely able litigator.”

2022 “Priyal Patel is an all-rounder. She is meticulous, robust and utterly dedicated to her clients. She is the lawyer that you want to represent you in matters relating to your children and your finances on separation.”

2023 “I have been particular impressed with Priyal Patel, especially in matrimonial finance, whose eye for detail is excellent.”

Outside of work

I enjoy keeping fit through boxing, running and going on long walks. I also spending quality time with my family and friends and relaxing through painting / drawing or a good series to binge on.
