Beth Pettifer

Associate Solicitor

Beth is an Associate Solicitor, dealing with a broad range of Family Law cases. She has represented clients in divorce matters, issues involving children, and various financial aspects of relationship breakdown.

Beth prefers to take a non-confrontation and constructive approach to cases, which suits the sensitive nature of the matters we deal within family law. She’s firm but fair. Taking this tack means that her matters are resolved in practical ways, without escalating costs. It’s one of the reasons why she’s been awarded with the Certificate of Commendation for outstanding professionalism and client care.

In 2023, we recognised Beth’s skills in managing and motivating people and promoted her to Team Supervisor in the Woodley office. As an emerging leader of the firm, Beth mentors and supports more junior colleagues to flourish in their careers. Beth was listed in October 2024 as one of the Top Family Law solicitors in Reading.

In her spare time, Beth loves to explore the foodie scene in Woodley, checking out new restaurants or cooking up a storm at home.

Beth is based at our Woodley office.
