Lowry Legal—Lesley Smythe

Family firm expands with appointment of divorce law partner

Specialist high net worth divorce law firm Lowry Legal has announced the appointment of matrimonial solicitor Lesley Smythe—an expert family lawyer with 25 years’ experience across the full range of divorce law— who joins as a partner.

Lesley’s addition to the firm’s senior team is the latest step in its ambitious expansion plans as it looks to grow its already considerable breadth of expertise across complex family law issues.

Lesley arrives at Lowry with decades of experience, having previously headed up the family and matrimonial department at top firm DTM Legal, and before that working at both DWF and Stowe Family Law, honing her specialisms in disentangling complicated financial assets following relationship breakdowns and assisting clients in the negotiation and drafting of pre- and post-nuptial agreements.

She is respected for her candid, supportive, and personable approach to clients, essential in providing high-quality family law services.

Commenting on Lesley’s appointment, managing partner Katie McCann said: 'We are so pleased to be welcoming Lesley to the team. Her join marks an exciting period for us as we continue to build on our remarkable successes of the last year. Lesley is a natural fit for Lowry Legal: she combines shrewd legal judgement with a devotion to exceptional client care.'

Lesley commented: 'I am delighted to be joining the team at Lowry Legal, who have swiftly managed to establish themselves as a highly regarded firm in the HNW family law market. I very much look forward to building on that with my new colleagues with what I bring to the table.'
