LSL Family Law—Tanya Foster

Family law firm appoints consultation solicitor 

Specialist firm LSL Family Law has welcomed consultant solicitor Tanya Foster to the team.

Based in Kent, Tanya has moved to the firm from SNS Solicitors in Maidstone. She has ample experience in family law matters, including advising on separation, public and private children proceedings, and financial remedy negotiations, as well as surrogacy, pre- and post-nuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements.

Linda Lamb, solicitor and director of LSL Family Law, said: ‘I’d like to offer a very warm welcome to Tanya. We are looking forward to her joining our expanding family tree. Tanya shares our values of compassion and empathy for families who are going through separation, and her expertise across a wide variety of family law matters will make her an excellent fit for both the practice and our clients. Her appointment bolsters both our offerings and commitment to families across the South East and London.’

Tanya added: ‘I’m excited to be joining LSL Family Law as it continues to spread its roots across the South East. Working alongside Linda, in a practice highly regarded for its commitment to Resolving Issues, is certainly an exciting prospect. It’s no secret that the current pandemic is putting a strain on many families, and I’m looking forward to providing the necessary advice and support which many will need during this time.’
