Lorraine Keown's practice encompasses all areas of family law, including financial remedy and child proceedings. She regularly advises on complex matters featuring pensions, corporate interests and inheritance.

Lorraine has a personal touch that puts every client at ease.

With years of experience in family law, Lorraine has built a reputation for providing thoughtful, strategic advice and strong representation in even the most complex and sensitive cases.

She is impressive, formidable and very client-focused. I am glad I generally work for her, rather than against her.
