The Family Department at leading North West Law Firm AFG LAW, has continued its strong momentum, marking its 5th addition of the year with Solicitor Sara Asif.
AFG LAW, with offices in Bolton, Bury and Stockport is a long established, multi-disciplinary law firm providing a range of services across the region and beyond. With experts in aspects of law including family, conveyancing, commercial property, dispute resolution, Wills and probate, it is built on traditional foundations combined with modern values and a fresh, forward-thinking approach.
Sara qualified as a solicitor in 2024, having gained over 4 years’ experience in the family law area, handling both legal aid and private matters. This has included representing clients on children matters, pre-proceedings matters, including assisting clients in navigating the PLO process, divorce, and supporting victims of domestic abuse by obtaining urgent Non-Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders.
Sara prides herself of being an approachable and incredibly dedicated family lawyer, who is committed to guiding clients through some of the most challenging times of their lives, using a practical and results-driven approach.
This newest appointment to the family department has seen it grow to 45 staff members, with 21 fee earners across the three offices of Bolton, Bury and Stockport. The department also expanded its billing team earlier in the year with the addition of Tina Bird as a Consultant Costs Draftsperson to assist the existing team with the volume of work brought in by AFG LAW’s Legal Aid services, which support some of the most vulnerable in society across Greater Manchester, and beyond.
Already this year, the team has had remarkable success in regional awards with Bethany Connor receiving the Community Champion Award from Manchester Resolution, as well as being shortlisted in Bolton Women in Business’s Woman in Professional Services category. Rachel Jones was also runner up in the Manchester Resolution Award for Wellbeing Champion.
Emma Cordock, Head of the family and billing departments, and Director at AFG LAW said:
‘This year is shaping up to be a record year for growth in the family department with Sara being the 4th new solicitor to join the team since January. It’s an exciting team to be working in at the moment with our increasing expansion of services being offered in the Greater Manchester area, and I know Sara is going to be a great addition to an already ambitious and strong team.’
