Our Story
Our team of expert family lawyers and divorce lawyers in Manchester is led by Amanda McAlister, one of the UK’s most highly regarded children law specialists. Amanda is also the resident family law expert for ITV’s This Morning, and regularly provides her expert commentary on the programme. She is also a trusted expert for a range of national and international news outlets, such as Sky News, BBC Breakfast and Channel 5 News, and is a frequent guest contributor on BBC Radio Manchester.
Having worked in large, legacy, city practices for the majority of her career, Amanda has seen the inefficiencies faced by these firms, and had a vision for a practice that did things differently. Under the Beyond Law Group umbrella, she’s created a team of family solicitors in Manchester and the North-West who are passionate about providing best-in-class service, quality advice, and the best possible legal outcomes for our clients in Manchester and the surrounding areas.
