Sintons strengthens family law team with new partner

Newcastle-headquartered Sintons has appointed Scott Halliday as partner and head of its family law team.

Scott is an award-winning lawyer with extensive experience in complex financial matters on divorce, child-related cases and LGBT+ family law. 

He advises high-net-worth clients, senior professionals and business owners on issues including property division, business interests, pensions and international relocation disputes. 

Scott joins Sintons’ offices in Newcastle, York, Leeds and London, bringing a strategic and empathetic approach to sensitive family law matters.

He said: “I’m proud to join Sintons and to lead this team of outstanding lawyers. 

“As a recent edition of Chambers & Partners noted, I fight tooth and nail for my clients, and I know the Sintons team shares that same commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes. 

“Clients can have huge confidence in our top-quality team which I am proud to lead. 

“Together, we will continue to deliver first-class advice and support to families at every stage of life, no matter how complex the circumstances.”

Christopher Welch, Sintons managing partner, added: “Scott is known nationally for his strategic approach, commercial awareness, and the empathy he shows when managing family law cases. 

“Our family law department handles a wide range of cases, to include divorce and separation, financial matters, issues in relation to children, together with providing services to resolve cases away from the Court forum where that is possible. 

“It’s essential that we have someone of Scott’s calibre at the helm, and I’m confident his appointment will strengthen our position as a leading family law practice.”
