Grace Lawrence

Grace advises on international and high-value family law cases, often involving complex business and trust interests and issues of pre and post-marital wealth. Grace combines an empathetic and diligent approach, with a strong technical ability. Grace seeks to resolve matters outside of court where possible – employing solicitor-led negotiation or alternative processes such as mediation or arbitration. Where court proceedings become necessary, Grace is a confident and strategic litigator and hugely protective of her clients’ interests.

During her training, Grace spent a year working in one of London’s most highly regarded private client teams. She developed a particular interest and expertise in trusts, property and estate planning which she draws on to inform her advice to her family law clients. She has become a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (one of very few family lawyers to do so) and she achieved a Distinction in STEP’s Advanced Certificate, International Trusts: Law and Practice. As such, she is comfortable advising trustees and beneficiaries on how best to safeguard trust interests from claims on divorce.
