RLK Solicitors has appointed Alisha Rait as its new Head of Family reflecting the firm’s continued growth and the rising demand for family law services across Birmingham, the wider Midlands.

Alisha is a Law Society Children Law Scheme accredited solicitor and a Resolution accredited specialist in Public and Private Law Children. With over 10 years of experience, she brings specialist expertise in complex children cases, safeguarding issues and high-value financial disputes. She also undertakes much of her own advocacy in the Family Court, ensuring clients benefit from seamless and strategic representation.

Her practice covers the full spectrum of family law, including divorce, financial settlements, child arrangements, cohabitation disputes, and cases involving allegations of harm or non-accidental injury. Before joining RLK, Alisha headed the family department at a regional firm, where she supervised a team of solicitors and built a reputation for managing challenging, court-led proceedings.

Commenting on her appointment, Alisha said:

“I’m delighted to have joined RLK. The team is knowledgeable, dedicated and they fight for the rights of their clients every day. Which is exactly the sort of organisation I want to be involved with. 

I look forward to working with them and getting the right results for our clients”. 

MD, Satish Jakhu says

“Alisha’s appointment is an important milestone in our growth strategy. She combines technical excellence with empathy, and her leadership will ensure that RLK continues to deliver outstanding family law services to clients not only across the Midlands but throughout the UK.”

RLK Solicitors, based in Edgbaston, Birmingham, advises both businesses and individuals across litigation, insurance, corporate and family law, with clients spanning the Midlands and the wider UK.
