rhw Solicitors LLP are pleased to announce the incorporation of Delano McEvoy solicitors, a well established family law practice in Guildford.

The firm’s principal Julian McEvoy qualified in 1985 and has worked at other well known Guildford law firms before setting up his own practice in April 1996.

Julian specialises in all areas of family law, and has been a member of Resolution since 1985. It is no coincidence, therefore, that he seeks to resolve matters amicably wherever possible, but if an attendance at court is unavoidable Julian is a willing and effective representative.

Julian has been on the committee of Surrey Resolution for many years, and has been its Vice Chairman for the last three years. He is an active member of Surrey Law Society.

Julian is also a trained Collaborative Lawyer, and feels that collaboration and mediation are the way forward in family cases.

Julian brings with him his team of three:

  • Julia Finill, his assistant since Delano McEvoy was established, and who in turn brings great experience in client support and in particular preparing lengthy documents such as Form E.
  • Margaret McDonald, who has been with Delano McEvoy for eight years and is an experienced Residential Conveyancing Executive.
  • Richard Benny who is a consultant in employment law, senior lecturer of law at Surrey University and author of a number of published articles.

Julian is very enthusiastic about the link up with rhw, saying:

“There is a strong team and a good ethos at rhw, and I have no doubt there is a true identity of purpose about putting clients first, looking after their needs and resolving their problems in a friendly and efficient way.”

I am particularly pleased to be working with Samantha Jago. When we have had cases against one another in the past we have always found a constructive solution, and this typifies her positive approach to family law.

Samantha and I are looking forward to developing the Family Department, and jointly being able to continue to offer fair and efficient outcomes to all of our clients. “

Samantha says:

“I am very pleased that Julian has joined us. This broadens the services we are able to offer. In particular Julian shares the same conciliatory but determined approach to family matters as I. I hope to work with him for many years.”

Julian can be contacted on 01483 540557 or by email

Samantha can be contacted on 01483 540551 or by email
