Lisa is an Advanced Accredited Family Law Solicitor with extensive experience supporting clients through a wide range of family law matters with clarity, empathy, and strategic focus. She advises on divorce, and separation, financial remedy proceedings  (both consented and contested) cohabitation and separation agreements, pre and post nuptial agreements, disputes concerning property and beneficial interests, and matters involving children including child arrangements, relocation, parental responsibility, specific issue and prohibited steps applications.

She also has significant experience in cases involving allegations of domestic abuse, including non-molestation and occupation orders, as well as complex and high-conflict proceedings requiring careful evidence preparation and robust case management.

Alongside her legal practice, she works as a civil and commercial mediator, helping individuals and businesses resolve disputes constructively and pragmatically.

Before qualifying as a solicitor in 2020, she worked alongside children’s services and within welfare law, supporting families by identifying and addressing their legal challenges.

Her wider professional experience includes senior leadership roles within education, including SEND, together with NHS management and safeguarding experience. This enables her to bring a holistic and practical perspective to the cases she handles, particularly where families are navigating complex personal, educational, or health-related challenges alongside legal proceedings.
