Partner hire for family team in Birmingham
National law firm TLT has appointed Lorna Tipple as partner in the family law team. Lorna will be based in the firm’s Birmingham office.
Lorna brings over 20 years of experience to the firm, having previously worked in national, regional and boutique firms.
Lorna has joined TLT from Thursfields, where her nationwide client base included business owners and medical professionals. She advises on all aspects of family law, including separation, divorce and the division and protection of family finances, arrangements for children, and domestic abuse.
Her extensive experience includes advising on wealth protection by way of pre and post nuptial agreements in cases involving intergenerational wealth and family businesses. She also advises high net worth clients on financial matters following divorce, often involving property portfolios, trusts and business interests. She also has extensive experience in complex matters involving children, such as parental alienation, intractable contact disputes and allegations requiring fact-finding hearings.
Natalie Drew, partner in TLT’s family law team, said: ‘Demand for family law expertise has increased in recent years—likely driven by pandemic-related and socio-economic factors. Lorna’s appointment will allow us to continue meeting this growing demand, enabling us to continue providing the best service to our clients across a range of issues.
‘Her tactical approach to complex matters in all areas and her ability to unpick tricky issues and provide clear, strategic advice will help us to prepare our clients for what comes next.’
Commenting on her appointment, Lorna added: ‘TLT’s family law team has a reputation for being one of the most trusted and respected in the sector. I’m delighted to be joining the firm during such an exciting time, six months after it opened its doors in Birmingham. I look forward to supporting the growth of the family law team.’
