RPC

Alistair Myles

Alistair has over 18 years of experience working in the frontline of family law, including cases that have re-shaped and progressed the law. Among his many reported cases are Jones v Jones on the treatment of non-matrimonial assets on divorce, and the Court of Appeal case of Haley v Haley which changed the standard for challenging family arbitration awards to align with that applied to court judgments. His work portfolio spans both financial and children matters, often closely intertwined, and typically for HNW and UHNW clients. He is renowned for his holistic approach to divorce and relationship breakdown, believing that clients achieve better outcomes when financial and children issues are addressed together. As co-founder and name partner of Ribet Myles, this integrated approach has become a defining feature of the firm, setting it apart from competitors who typically assign separate teams to cover these different aspects. His work on financial remedies matters focusses on the most high-value and complex, typically involving international elements and sophisticated asset structures. He is also famous for his groundbreaking work on pre- and post-nuptial agreements. His children work again focusses on the most complex and international, for example applications for a parent to move abroad with their children, also day-to-day arrangements for children post-separation and divorce, often where one parent is abroad – and particularly involving knock-on financial implications. He is a member of Resolution and the International Association of Young Lawyers (AIJA) and he volunteers with the BPP Family Law Advice Clinic, providing practical and strategic guidance and support to student advisors. Alistair also has a star rating in the Citywealth Leaders List, (the leading peer- and client-reviewed listing of private wealth management professionals), recognised as one of the top 20 family and matrimonial lawyers in the UK and one of Citywealth’s 100 ‘Future Leaders’. He is also recommended in the Spear’s 500 listing of expert advisers and service-providers for (U)HNWs and is listed in Doyle’s Law Guide as a Leading Family & Divorce Lawyer.

Alistair Pye

Alistair is one of the UK’s most popular mediators. With well over 750 mediations to his name, Alistair is consistently ranked in the top tiers of Legal 500 (including the Hall of Fame), Chambers and Partners and the International Who’s Who of Commercial Mediators. With over 30 years experience in dispute resolution at the highest level, Alistair trained as a mediator in 2006 and built his practice alongside his legal work – initially as a solicitor with a major international law firm and latterly a barrister. Coming from a background in all types of commercial, insurance and property disputes, for the majority of his legal career Alistair specialised in construction and insurance disputes. He has represented developers, contractors, construction professionals and their insurers in some of the biggest and most complex disputes in the UK – in the courts, arbitration, adjudication and mediation. Alistair left legal practice in 2014 to work as a full-time mediator and has since developed one of the busiest practices in the UK. With a settlement rate well above the industry average, his straight talking, imaginative style, his professionalism and his willingness to go the extra mile have led to resolution of all types of civil and commercial disputes, from modest claims to complex multi-party cases up to £100 million. Alistair is valued for his attention to detail, his ability to focus minds on negotiation rather than attrition and for his good humour (a much-underrated quality in mediation!). Like all top mediators, Alistair has very extensive experience of online mediations which continue to be popular, particularly where there is an international element. Alistair is available to work anywhere. Based in London and the South West, Alistair mediates nationally, internationally and online.
