Practice Areas

Lucy specialises in complex matrimonial finance disputes, with particular experience in multi-jurisdictional litigation and cases involving trust and business assets. Chambers & Partners HNW described her as “unparalleled for someone of her generation.”

Lucy acts for a broad range of high-profile individuals and their spouses and partners. Lucy’s focus is on multi-jurisdictional financial disputes; she also has particular experience in disputes involving assets held in trust. Legal 500 has recognised Lucy’s ‘”encyclopaedic knowledge” of complex matrimonial finances involving trust assets.’

Due to the nature of her clients and the complex litigation in which they are involved, many of Lucy’s cases have involved issues arising at the intersection of family and media law. Her cases regularly involve complex business structures and valuation issues; Lucy also works on cases involving significant art collections.

Having practised for two years in Hong Kong, Lucy has considerable international experience. Lucy is regularly instructed in the preparation of nuptial agreements and, as a French speaker, has particular experience in preparing agreements in conjunction with French lawyers as well as across other jurisdictions.

Career

Lucy graduated from University College London in 2007 and trained and qualified (2011) at Withers in London, subsequently working in the firm’s Hong Kong office. She joined Stewarts in January 2014 and made partner in 2021.

Professional Memberships

Lucy is a member of Resolution and for a number of years sat on the London Resolution Committee and Resolution’s Regional Liaison Committee as the London representative.

Publications

Lucy regularly speaks and writes articles on family law matters including The Times Radio, the FT and Stylist magazine amongst others. She was recently featured in Spear’s’ ‘leading family lawyers on the future of HNW divorce’.

A selection of Lucy’s articles include:

Family court makes interim order despite financial remedy proceedings being stayed

Lucy has presented to the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers on protecting personal injury awards from family law claims.

Personal

Having originally trained as a dancer, outside of the office Lucy tries to make it to Sadlers Wells as much as her young daughter allows. She can otherwise be found at the Tate or the RA (daughter in tow), or doing something energetic in east London or up a hill in Scotland.
