Theresa Wright is a Family Law Associate advising clients in Brighton, London and beyond on a wide range of complex and sensitive family law matters.

Known for combining empathy with strong, strategic representation, Theresa supports clients through some of the most challenging and transformative periods of their lives.

What Theresa Wright Does

Theresa specialises in family law, advising clients on both domestic and international matters with a focus on achieving fair, practical outcomes.

• Divorce and separation
• Financial settlements, including complex and high-value cases
• Child arrangements and disputes
• International family law matters
• Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
• Cohabitation and separation agreements

She works closely with clients to ensure they understand their options and feel confident in the decisions they make throughout their case.

Why She Stands Out

Theresa is recognised for her empathetic yet tenacious approach. She takes the time to understand each client’s individual circumstances, while also being prepared to fight strongly where needed to protect their interests.

Her ability to explain complex legal issues in a clear, digestible way helps clients feel empowered and in control during what can often be overwhelming situations.

She combines emotional intelligence with strategic thinking, making her particularly effective in high-conflict and high-stakes cases.
