Career
Linda qualified as a solicitor in Scotland in 1993 and in England & Wales in 1995. She has practising certificates in both jurisdictions. After twenty years as a partner in traditional law firms, Linda was ready for a more flexible and agile approach. Linda founded LSL Family Law in 2017 in order to focus on her clients and their needs rather than on managing a large practice.
