The partnership has since expanded to include Emma Harte, Sara Hannell, Tom Amlot, Magnus Mill, Katie Longmate, and William Healing.

The firm is recognised for its expertise in high-value and complex family law matters, particularly those involving international elements. It frequently advises on the financial consequences of relationship breakdowns and on disputes involving children, often acting in cases with substantial assets and intricate legal issues. The firm has been involved in several landmark family law cases in recent years.

Alexiou Fisher Philipps serves a diverse client base, including professionals, aristocrats, entrepreneurs, entertainers, media figures, and financial sector clients. The firm is particularly noted for its capabilities in offshore asset structures, child relocation matters, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, and emergency relief such as injunctions related to child abduction and asset freezing.

Several members of the firm are fellows of the International Academy of Family Lawyers. Douglas Alexiou is a past president of both the Academy’s global organisation and its European chapter. Susan Philipps and Emma Harte are trained mediators accredited by Resolution, with Harte also a former chair of its ADR committee. William Healing is known for his expertise in French-related matters, while Magnus Mill has a focus on offshore financial arrangements.
