Lisa joined Kingsley Napley as an Associate in the Family team in June 2021. Prior to this, she trained and qualified at another top London firm specialising in divorce involving high net worth individuals.
 

Lisa assists with a wide range of family law issues arising on the breakdown of a relationship, including:

  • All aspects of divorce proceedings;
  • Financial claims on divorce, including complex financial proceedings in the High Court;
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements;
  • Intervener cases; and
  • Child arrangements.

Many of Lisa’s cases have involved a multi-jurisdictional element with assets located all over the world, and she works closely with contacts in other jurisdictions to ensure that careful thought is given to the strategy adopted.

Lisa understands the practical and emotional difficulties associated with the process and strives to ensure that all clients receive clear strategic advice. 

Lisa studied Jurisprudence at Mansfield College, University of Oxford, and graduated in 2016. She then completed the Legal Practice Course at BPP University and achieved a distinction. She qualified as a solicitor in 2019.
