ABOUT US
Philcox Gray has been providing high-quality advice, representation and other legal services to the people of South London since 1894. Based in Southwark and Lambeth, and committed to serving our local community, we have a London-wide and national reputation in our specialist fields.
Our team is committed to helping, supporting and advising our clients, some of whom are vulnerable or in difficult circumstances. We have specialists in Child Law and Family Law and advocates with higher rights of audience in all courts. Our trained mediators can help with family dispute resolution.
Every client has a unique set of problems. We will always listen, identify how we can help, and provide appropriate advice and, when necessary, representation.
We are known for our commitment to Legal Aid and helping those in need. For clients who do not qualify for Legal Aid, we offer fixed fees and conditional fee agreements. Please see our specialist service pages for details of fees, or contact us if you have any questions.
WHAT WE DO
We advise and represent, both under Legal Aid and on a private basis, in the following areas:
Child Law and Family Law, including care proceedings, divorce, domestic violence, contact, child abduction, residence disputes and financial matters;
We also provide mediation services for families.
LEGAL 500
Once again the hard work of our Family Department has been recognised by being listed in the 2025 edition of the Legal 500.
The firm is particularly recommended for its work with vulnerable clients in challenging circumstances and the Family Department receives plaudits for being ‘committed to obtaining the best outcome for all their clients. Their strength is representing clients who are facing particularly challenging circumstances, and are vulnerable.’
The 2024 edition of the Legal 500 previously highlighted the Family Team is ‘consistently reliable and responsive, with notable dedication to their cases and clients’. The firm has five Children Panel members. As a result, it has a particular specialism in care proceedings and frequently handles complex cross-border disputes involving abduction and relocation, as well as other issues such as the deprivation of liberty of minors.
‘Beverley King has a really lovely manner about her. Clients and opponents love her and she is noted for her work with complex care proceedings, leading the team alongside Lucy Verity, who is a mediator and international child abduction specialist, and Sephona Isaacs-Polson, who is a stand out for domestic abuse expertise.’
‘A strong public law team complemented with skilled private law representation, particularly in relation to international matters relating to abduction and wardship. They have a case load of High Court work that belies their modest address.’
‘Of particular note are Lucy Verity for her work in wardship and international matters, and Giuseppe Di Sica for his hard work and astuteness in handing complex and difficult cases and clients.’
‘Beverley King has an intuitive, instinctive feel for her cases and is able to represent children very effectively and sensitively’
