Gardner Leader, a leading regional law firm, has strengthened its Family Law team with the appointment of Rosie Deller as Senior Associate, supporting its ongoing growth in Oxfordshire. Rosie brings extensive expertise, having spent five years at a specialist family law firm in Buckinghamshire.
This expansion follows Gardner Leader’s integration with Addis Law in 2023, further cementing its presence in the region. With more than 200 staff across the south of England, the firm’s Oxfordshire team now includes eight specialists covering nine practice areas.
Rosie is a member of Resolution, a national body of 6,500 solicitors dedicated to resolving family cases with sensitivity and compassion. She specializes in complex family law matters such as divorce and financial settlements, domestic abuse cases, cohabitation disputes, and children-related issues. Her expertise extends to asset structures, trusts, and cross-jurisdictional matters.
Rosie Deller, Senior Associate at Gardner Leader, said: “It’s a real privilege to have joined such a prestigious firm in Gardner Leader. Its recent success in being named as Law Firm of the Year at the national LawNet awards and its rankings in leading industry guides speak for themselves. Being a multicultural, diverse and growing university city with significant international links makes Oxford an exciting challenge. I am looking forward to adding my experience to our team’s collective expertise while supporting families and individuals that may need our assistance at a difficult time.”
Rosie’s work highlights include highly complex family disputes, including cases involving relocation with children oversees, financial remedy proceedings involving offshore trusts and companies in different jurisdictions, and acting for an intervenor in financial remedy proceedings following a historic bankruptcy and transfer of shares in a limited company.
Derek Rodgers, Managing Partner at Gardner Leader, added: “Since our arrival in Oxford in 2023, one of our key missions has been to cement our position in the city and region, while also accelerating the overall growth of the firm.”
