Hamshaw is led by Daniel Shaw and Sarah Kelly

with support from Anthony Letayf

We keep the Hamshaw team small so that you get our full attention, and don’t pay for lawyers that you don’t need.

We add and remove lawyers to suit the requirements of your case. This ensures that you always get the best help in the most cost-efficient way.
