What our clients say
Thank you for your time today. You really did explain everything from completely different angle and dimension.
Client
He not only taught me how to better represent myself at court but also, and crucially for me, where my own issues were with regards to communication. I can't recommend these guys enough.
A father
Richard has shown a far superior level of subject knowledge in terms of family law which is only surpassed by his understanding of dispute dynamics and dispute resolution, and this is assisted further by a keen sense of integrity and plain old common sense.
A father in a false-allegation case
Your advice and also approach helped me immensely but also reflected my own values of being child centric and so it got me through the awful allegations. The case that you so diligently and expertly built has meant that I know that my children's best interests are being served.
Client
He is a lawyer with a strict code of ethics and morals and genuinely cares about his clients. I do not know of a lawyer who has behaved with as much integrity. The work of GE Law should be held as a guide to the behaviour that more lawyers should aspire to.
A mother in a high-conflict divorce
You have been a lifeline to me-both legally and psychologically over the last year. I can sleep at night knowing you are on my case.
Client
I am feeling so much better about approaching mediation and have a new found confidence and calm in place of my previous fear. I am absolutely inspired by your amazing business model and approach.
Client
Richard...I am incredibly grateful for all that you have done and, specifically, recently, the witness statement which was a real masterclass...the kind of grateful that is life-long indebted as well as humbly thankful.
Client
How you have communicated and guided me has been a real weight off my shoulders following the experience I had with my previous solicitors, I wish I had found you much earlier!
Client
A massive and gigantic thank you for your excellent work throughout the last months. Given that we had to go to court, we have secured a resounding victory and for that I thank you. A big thank you from all of my family.
A father in a financial case
We were able to put across a strong yet respectful position that sent a message to NYAS and the court about where I really stand. Thanks again, I couldn't have done it without you.
David
I'm truly grateful for the thorough and professional job you've done.... I'm certain that we are going to win based on the case that you have put together for me.
Client
I think it's brilliant thanks. It is a very fair reflection of my thoughts and feelings put in a non inflammatory way, amazing! I can't see anyway of improving it.
Client
Thank you Richard for all of your time, efforts, and for going above and beyond over the last few months. Obviously been a very difficult time for us and don't think we would be here without you and Gavin.
Client
I am enormously appreciative of your work and the body of evidence you have helped us to create alongside a first class strategy that feels morally right - all about support not attack.
Client
I completely agree that mediation and therapy practices have constrictions placed upon them that limit parents' capacities to form an amicable and collaborative post separation relationship with each other.
A court recommended communication and conflict resolution expert
Whatever the outcome of next week, you have and continue to be an unbelievable force for good and what is just and right. Thank you for your professionalism, your perseverance, your patience and your unending support to my brother.
Sister of a client
When I look at a lot of my thoughts and actions through the prism of conflict avoidance being a significant driver, it is very enlightening.
Client
The advice I received from you and your personal effort to assist were first-class and bespoke. I no longer fear him. I am content with my case and position.
Client
For the first time in over two years did I feel confident in the legal representative I was speaking to.
Client
Thanks for all your help, support, advice, coaching, counselling. It has made the difference between me feeling lost and incapable to feeling empowered and competent.
Client
He wants to retract his opposition to my application. He read the witness statement and this had a huge effect on his decision.... You have no idea how much I appreciate the work you have done and continue to do for me.
Client
I sent your details to an old friend from Richmond days as she has a Hungarian friend who is going through something similar. I told her how brilliant you have been!
Client
GE Law not only grabbed my case with both hands but incredibly quickly reviewed, advised and developed something which I was sorely missing, a Strategy! My wife's application to remove our children from this jurisdiction was refused by an insightful Judge.
A father in leave to remove proceedings
Funny how one can start a case fearing that it is hopeless and end up believing one is in with a good shout. I would refuse the application were I the judge.
A leading QC in a leave to remove case where the strategy was 100% successful
You are such an incredibly generous and supportive person, with such an amazing level of insight. We are in a deep hole and actually need you more than ever. It is truly inspiring to come across someone who truly believes in what they are doing.
An applicant mother and father
A few months ago, I was facing the horrifying prospect of having my children removed to Germany. You called me back and we had an inspiring conversation. After a two-year struggle, judgement was delivered on 18th May: I won thank you.
A publicly funded parent
Thanks to you also for your very careful preparation, which ultimately gave him nowhere to go!
A leading QC
Your understanding and insight has been a great help, at a point when I was feeling totally defeated by my ex-husband and the family court system.
Client
Well 7 years on my son & I are happier than ever. He's far exceeded my expectations & hopes for him & is the most wonderful son anyone could wish for. None of this would have been possible without your support.
A father
You're super sharp and your ability to analyse situations and personalities is pretty incredible.
Client
I now know what it means to cry tears of joy and relief. It's not many times in life when a person can say that a lawyer transformed their currently dreadful life into a wonderful future full of hope and dreams again.
A father
You are the best family law solicitor I have come across. I hope that we can work together in the future.
Client
Richard, I am stunned and grateful in equal measure. Certainly did not expect a reply with any kind of steer in. You are the exception-in your profession - that proves the rule.
Client
I'm pleased to share that things have significantly progressed since my last message to you. Thank you again for all your help so far, both at a personal level and for my relationship with Sarah as it really has helped significantly.
Client
Your approach to law and 24-hour availability is truly remarkable and has given me great reassurance. I believe the child centric statements and child centric approach really won the day.
Client
You have touched an issue close to my heart professionally and personally. What a fantastic basis for a law firm you have in my view.
A professional in defensive behaviour and psychology
I had no idea how life changing it would actually be. Talking to you has helped me immeasurably. I do feel completely empowered now and have a new sense of inner strength.
Client
It was without doubt the most stressful time in my life and without you I probably wouldn't have seen the whole thing through and would not have coped that well.
Client
You're the only family lawyer I met who wants to resolve things in a fair way and isn't looking to fight for no reason.
Client
We really did enjoy speaking with you as you gave us many things to think about plus we really do like the way you see leave to remove cases and how to approach them.
A couple
Just a brief note to say I'm very impressed with the documentation I have just seen from you. Work of this type is very valued by me and I thank you on behalf of myself and my family.
Client
I have completed my review of the notes. Very insightful stuff! I think that I will be able to make use of much of this when I am on the feet before the court.
A King's Counsel
Thank you very much for this, I am very pleased and impressed with the outcome-it sets my standpoint out so well and in a way that I wouldn't be able to do on my own.
Client
We appreciate and admire all the effort and intelligence you put into this case.
Client
JS has gained good insight into how he works and we thank you for that. We are so appreciative of the approach you take to your work.
A client's family
Every other aspect of your work has been magical. Thanks for all the brain work you have put in thus far, which I think will stand us in good stead in court.
Client
Not only have my children been protected but you have restored my faith in family lawyers and I feel more empowered again, with strength, new skills and resilience to keep moving it forward in a positive way for my family.
LG
Most lawyers would have run a mile to avoid such a difficult conversation, but you listened, empathised, agreed and got how I was feeling, allowing me to vent my spleen which I needed to do in the early stages in particular.
Client
To dig for a truth without blame but focus on understanding, reflection, compassion and the lack of parental communication is both right and genius. My wife, my kids and myself will be forever indebted to you.
Client
Thank you for your sage advice on how to resolve conflict and improve communications, which was a great deal of help in what you described as the worst case of acrimony you have seen for some time.
Client
I don't know how you draft in such a way that I feel that I actually wrote the document. You are without doubt the best solicitor I have had the privilege of knowing.
Client
Our Team
Richard Gregorian
Principal Solicitor
Richard Gregorian has advised clients for more than thirty years, initially as a commercial banking partner and, subsequently, as a specialist family lawyer.
Throughout his career he has remained convinced that legal expertise, whilst fundamental, is only one part of effective family law representation. Every family dispute involves people whose behaviour, communication and decision-making influence the way litigation develops. Understanding those wider dynamics enables legal advice to be applied more effectively.
Richard also brings personal experience of the family justice system, having successfully defended an international relocation application involving his own family at a time when primary carers were generally regarded as having an unassailable advantage. He brings that experience whether representing mothers or fathers in these complex and very important cases.
Gavin Emerson
Conflict Engagement Specialist
Gavin Emerson works alongside Richard to strengthen the strategic thinking that underpins every case. His expertise lies in conflict engagement, communication, family dynamics and, where appropriate, the psychological factors that influence family disputes.
His role is not to replace legal advice, nor is it to provide therapy or mediation. Instead, Gavin’s contribution helps ensure that the legal strategies developed for our clients are informed by a deeper understanding of the conflict itself and the way that conflict influences communication, behaviour and decision-making.
