Spotlight on Excellence: Meet Hatch Brenner’s Amy Walpole and Sophie Key

At Hatch Brenner, we’re more than just a legal firm; we’re a collective of individuals passionate about making a difference. Today, we’re proud to introduce two key players in our family law team, whose expertise and dedication set the standard for excellence: Head of Department, Amy Walpole, and Senior Associate, Sophie Key.

Leading the team with her unparalleled expertise is our Department Head, Amy Walpole. Recognised for her ability to unravel complex cases and identify the key issues in dispute, Amy’s strategic approach ensures clarity and confidence in even the most intricate matters. Our Tier 2 ranking in the Legal 500 is a testament to her relentless pursuit of excellence and her commitment to her clients’ success. Amy’s leadership not only inspires our team but also delivers results that matter.

Alongside Amy is Sophie Key, a pillar of guidance and support. Known for providing pragmatic advice, Sophie’s focus is on navigating clients toward their end goals with precision and empathy. Her ability to understand and manage the emotional nuances of family law makes her an invaluable asset to our team and, most importantly, to the clients she serves.

Together, Amy and Sophie, who each have over 20 years’ experience in family law, lead a dynamic family law department at Hatch Brenner. Our firm is distinguished by two dedicated teams: the private family team, focusing on divorce, financial matters (in connection with relationship breakdown and wealth protection), and children matters, and the public family team, specialising in PLO cases, care proceedings, and Special Guardianship matters. Whether dealing with multimillion-pound assets or the most sensitive of family situations, our commitment is unwavering.

Their expertise, coupled with Hatch Brenner’s multi-department offering, ensures that every client receives the care, understanding, and top-tier legal representation they deserve.
