Austin Kemp Grows Specialist HNW Divorce Team with Appointment of Nationally Recognised Partner Michael Gregory

Austin Kemp Solicitors, a Legal 500 Leading Firm, is proud to announce the appointment of Michael Gregory as a Salaried Partner, marking a significant addition to its leadership team and reinforcing its strategic focus on high-calibre, specialist recruitment.

This latest appointment brings the number of salaried partners to six, with further strategic additions expected before the end of the year as part of the firm’s ongoing growth and leadership development.

Michael’s arrival represents a significant milestone in Austin Kemp’s growth trajectory, as the firm continues to attract standout legal talent from across the UK to build a best-in-class family law practice focused on complex, high-value matters.

With over two decades of experience, Michael is a nationally recognised name in private family law, having most recently served as Partner at a specialist family law firm, where he played a key role in building the firm’s presence across the North West and London. His reputation as an elite practitioner in high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth divorce, international family law, and modern family structures has made him a trusted advisor to business leaders, entrepreneurs, and public figures.

Michael is particularly noted for his niche expertise in surrogacy and fertility law, an area in which he has been described in the Legal 500 (2025) as “the go-to” advisor. His breadth of knowledge spans financial remedies involving multi-jurisdictional wealth structures, trust assets, forensic asset tracing, and cross-border enforcement.

Amandeep Kooner, Managing Director at Austin Kemp Solicitors, said:

“Michael’s appointment sends a strong message about the direction we’re heading as a firm. He is a heavyweight addition to our leadership team, with a national reputation for delivering results in complex and sensitive family law matters.

His deep legal insight, technical excellence, and personal integrity embody the values that Austin Kemp stands for. He will not only enhance the service we provide to our high-net-worth clients but will also help shape the next generation of elite family lawyers within our team.”

Michael will be based in the Manchester City Centre offices and the Mayfair London offices, further strengthening Austin Kemp’s presence and its ability to serve clients nationwide with specialist legal expertise.
