Edward Floyd
Partner
Edward advises on all family law issues, helping clients resolve the financial issues that arise on separation, arrangements for children, and marital and relationship agreements. His cases often involve high-value, multi-jurisdictional assets, including trusts and complex structures.
Experienced in navigating litigation (including reported cases at High Court level), Edward also negotiates effectively and pragmatically outside of court to achieve the best outcome for clients, whether through mediation, arbitration or other forms of ADR. He advises a wide range of individuals including city professionals, entrepreneurs, high net worth individuals and their spouses or partners, alongside offering advice to family advisers and trustees whenever family law issues arise.
Edward’s cases often involve an international element, and he has recently presented on international family law issues at a European meeting of international family lawyers and at the University of Lausanne. He has spoken at and chaired recent Thought Leaders HNW divorce conferences in London and is due to chair an upcoming HNW disputes conference in Dublin. He increasingly advises on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
Widely recognised as leading a new generation of London family lawyers, clients interviewed for Chambers HNW 2024 described him as a “phenomenal partner”, adding, he’s "technically superb on jurisdictional matters. He hit the ground running when he joined and will rightly be one of the big guns for years to come." His commentary on family law has been featured in the national press, including the Telegraph, the Guardian and the FT.
Thoughtful and strategic in his approach, and with an eye for detail, Edward reassures clients with his calmness under pressure.
