1 Hare Court’s Joint Head of Chambers and financial remedies specialist, Nichola Gray KC, is joining the judging panel of the Spear’s Awards 2025 for the ‘Family Lawyer of the Year’ category.
Each year, the Spear’s Awards celebrate the exceptional contributions of legal professionals with one of the eighteen prestigious categories recognising the outstanding services provided by a family lawyer to ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) and high-net-worth (HNW) individuals.
The awards evening is taking place on 20th November at Raffles London.
Commenting on being invited onto the judging panel, Nichola says, “I was identified by Spear’s as among the best-ranked family law barristers in the latest edition of its Spear’s 500 Index. These rankings are decided from rigorous, objective research, including client and peer feedback, and showcase the industry’s strongest talent.
“My highly ranked directory status, coupled with 1 Hare Court’s international renown as the leader in UHNW and HNW family law, is Spear’s rationale for my selection onto its panel of esteemed judges. I very much look forward to helping shine a light on some of our country’s finest legal brains in the field of family law.”
Senior Clerk Steve McCrone adds, “We’re immensely proud of Spear’s handpicking Nichola for the judging role. Not only does it demonstrate her pre-eminence in complex and challenging financial remedy cases; it also evidences the widely acclaimed reputation of 1 Hare Court as unrivalled matrimonial counsel.”
Aisha Ali, Head of Research at Spear’s, explains, “Nichola Gray is recognised by Spear’s as one of the UK’s leading family law silks. This year, she joins the distinguished judging panel for the 2025 Spear’s Awards, bringing her expertise in high-value and complex financial cases to help select the winner of the coveted Family Lawyer of the Year Award.”
