From a small practice to a nationally recognised firm, Rayden Solicitors marked 20 years of compassionate, results-driven family law expertise last week with a memorable anniversary party held at Christchurch Spitalfields.
In 2005, Senior Partner Katherine Rayden embarked on a journey as a sole practitioner, driven by a belief that work/life balance can co-exist with professional excellence. Today, the firm proudly stands with ten offices across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Kent, London and the West Midlands. Alongside Katherine, the Rayden team has grown to include 3 Executive Partners, 16 Partners, and a dedicated team of solicitors and support staff specialising in family law. Katherine said recently, ‘Our continual growth as a team reflects our commitment to excellence and our unwavering focus on client success.’Over the last 20 years, the Rayden Solicitors team has expanded its areas of specialist knowledge to cover all aspects of family law. From divorce to dispute resolution and cohabitation and nuptial agreements. The team upholds the firm’s core values of commitment, clarity and confidence, dedicated to supporting clients through life’s toughest challenges.For two decades, Rayden Solicitors has consistently received recognition from leading professional awarding bodies as a benchmark of excellence in family law. Most recently the firm was announced as ‘Family Law Firm of the Year – South’ in the 2024 Family Law Awards.
In the prestigious 2025 Legal 500 rankings the firm was once again ranked in the top tier and was described as, ‘A gold standard firm where the leader of the firm, Katherine Rayden has built a superb team across offices based on maintaining a very high quality of solicitors and a universally good service to clients.’ Katherine herself took her place in the rankings’ ‘Hall of Fame.’ The firm is also top ranked in the respected Chambers & Partners Guide and regularly appears in The Times 100 top law firms in the UK.
To celebrate the growth and success of the firm over the last two decades, an anniversary party was held on Thursday 11th September at the stunning venue of Christchurch in Spitalfields. In attendance were the firm’s 100+ staff members as well as distinguished guests from across a wide network of our professional peers in the field of family law and beyond. Katherine Rayden addressed the guests, thanking them for supporting the firm for the last 20 years and for braving the tube strike and the weather to attend.
