Senior Associate Solicitor
Isobel Rarok
Isobel joined Edwards Family Law in September 2021 as an Associate Solicitor and was promoted to Senior Associate in October 2024.
Isobel studied law at Exeter and completed her training contract at a leading City law firm where she gained a wide range of experience in all areas of family law, as well as civil litigation and conveyancing.
Isobel qualified in August 2019 and has continued to develop her practice with a particular focus on high net worth financial matters, often with an international element. This includes dealing with matters involving complex trust and corporate structures, based both domestically and overseas, and issues of company valuation.
One particular case saw Isobel assist in a highly complex ultra high net worth divorce case involving multiple jurisdictions including India, France the UAE and a number of other offshore jurisdictions.
The case addressed complex financial remedy issues which can be faced by high net worth individuals on the breakdown of a marriage including;
- Issues related to the assessment of value, origin and ownership of assets including those within complex company and trust structures; issues regarding evidence and disclosure; and minority discounts in respect of company shareholdings all had to be considered.
- This case also dealt with novel issues of law such as the interface between family law and the broader civil law, and variation due to the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on the value of assets.
- Isobel also has experience in matters involving nuptial agreements, including drafting pre and post nuptial agreements as well as where nuptial agreements are being challenged.
