Hampshire law firm Andrew & Andrew Solicitors has appointed Shikha Datta as head of its newly established family law department, as the firm continues its growth and expansion of services.
Datta brings over 25 years of experience in family law, advising clients on achieving the best possible outcomes in both financial and children-related matters.
Her expertise spans complex financial settlements involving trust structures and overseas assets, prenuptial agreements, and jurisdictional disputes. She also has extensive experience in children matters, including residence and contact arrangements, as well as leave to remove applications.
Known for her calm and collaborative approach, Shikha has represented a diverse client base that includes business owners, CEOs, entrepreneurs, actors, musicians, academics, and professionals both in the UK and internationally.
Shikha said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Andrew & Andrew Solicitors. It is a firm where the culture genuinely reflects the values I bring to my practice: considered, client-focused, and committed to achieving the optimal outcome.
“The breakdown of a relationship can be an emotionally difficult and stressful time, with concerns regarding how finances will be divided, how the children of the family will be affected and how to navigate a new phase of life. I feel I am well-placed with my extensive experience to lead this new department and navigate the complexities of family law.”
Andrew Wisniewski, director at Andrew & Andrew Solicitors said: “We are delighted to welcome Shikha as head of our family law department. Her extensive experience and client focused approach make her an exceptional addition to the practice.
“Shikha’s appointment marks a significant step in our continued growth as we expand our services to include family law.”
The introduction of family law services enhances Andrew & Andrew Solicitors’ existing offering, enabling the firm to provide comprehensive legal support to clients across a broader range of personal and professional matters. With offices in Portsmouth, Emsworth and Wickham, the firm serves clients across Hampshire and the surrounding region.
