Nicola Wilburn-Shaw has joined McAlister Family Law as partner. She will be based in the firm’s Alderley Edge offices.

Nicola, who lives in Hale Barns, originally qualified into fraud litigation. Her experience in this field means she has a particular aptitude for high value and multi-asset financial disputes, where there may be a concern surrounding undisclosed income or assets.
Nicola recently acted in one of the top three, highest value divorces in the UK, with a net asset base in excess of £150m.
McAlister Family Law, with offices in Manchester city centre, throughout the North West, and London, is part of the Manchester-based Beyond Professional Services Group; one of the very few firms in the country that specialises not only in divorce and family disputes, but also in children law.
Nicola said: “This is a very exciting move is for me. Amanda’s reputation as a family lawyer is outstanding, and I really wanted to work with her and her team as they build something very special in the industry.”
Managing partner, Amanda McAlister, said: ’We are delighted to welcome Nicola to the team. She is highly regarded for her family law expertise, and her particular skill set complements our already extensive family law offering.”
