Wiltshire-based Goughs Solicitors is celebrating national recognition for its Family Team, following its inclusion in the Chambers and Partners Global 2026 rankings. The firm achieved a Band 3 ranking for Family and Matrimonial Law in the South West – alongside recognition for its Real Estate team – marking over ten years of consistent success in the prestigious guide.
The rankings are based on independent research and client feedback, assessing firms for their expertise, client care and professionalism. Goughs’ Family Team was praised for its ‘impressive development’, ‘realistic advice’ and ‘highly personable and responsive approach’.
The firm’s family specialists, Ross Phillips and Thomas Boyce, were both recognised individually, each receiving Band 3 rankings for their work across the region. Clients described Ross as ‘superb in terms of client care and focus on achieving excellent outcomes’, while Thomas was highlighted as ‘knowledgeable and personable’.
Thomas Boyce, Partner and Head of the Family Team, said, “Independent recognition from clients and researchers reinforces the quality, consistency and strength of our advice. Our goal is always to combine deep technical expertise with empathy and clarity for clients navigating challenging times, and it’s humbling to see that reflected in these rankings.”
With offices across Wiltshire, Goughs Solicitors supports families through all aspects of relationship and childcare law, from divorce and financial settlements to co-parenting and pre-nuptial agreements. The latest Chambers recognition cements the firm’s position as one of the South West’s most trusted and respected family law practices.
