Trusted Partner
Family Law Advisory

Levison Meltzer Pigott LLP

As an inward investor to the UK, you will know that when it comes to dealing with your, or your family’s, legal affairs, you need a law firm that has an international outlook. Your private and business affairs may generate global legal issues that require the attention of and advice from advisors of the highest integrity, and who are sensitive to the nuances of your unique circumstances. Nowhere is this more important than in the field of family law, to include in relation to divorce or separation, and the financial consequences of the relationship breakdown, and in relation to the arrangements for your children.

Founded in 1998, Levison Meltzer Pigott LLP (known as LMP) has forged a reputation as one of the leading family law firms in the country. Our expertise and experience encompasses all areas of divorce and family law.  We specialise in complex financial and international cases, including the location of hidden assets, defending and attacking trust structures and complicated jurisdictional disputes.   We understand the importance of your business interests and how to protect and maximise these assets for the benefit of all parties.  We also have extensive experience resolving cases with substantial assets in the UK and around the world, including crypto-assets and pensions.  We advise in relation to prenuptial agreements, separation agreements and, in relation to children, we can advise in relation to child arrangements, leave to remove (where one parent wishes to move abroad) and child abduction matters.

There may be several jurisdictions in which you (or your spouse) can start divorce proceedings. This is known as “forum shopping” – a topic of much greater relevance post-Brexit. Using our network of contacts in leading family law practices throughout the world, LMP ensures that you receive the appropriate advice tailored to your unique circumstances.  This enables you to make an informed decision about where best to start proceedings.

We have acted in many ground-breaking reported cases.  Clients and other law firms alike praise us for the quality of our legal advice, and the care and skill with which it is delivered. Year after year, prestigious directories such as The Spear’s 500, Chambers and Partners UK and the Legal 500 have recognised both the team and individual practitioners in the areas of family law and family mediation.

Credit for the firm is extensive.  The latest edition of the Legal 500 refers to LMP as an “excellent specialist boutique firm” with “superb client care”.  There is reference to LMP as “unafraid to take on the most complex cases; it handles these with aplomb”.  Other directory quotes make reference to LMP as “one of the best in London”, “a powerhouse in terms of its work ethic” and as providing “exceptionally high standards of service to the client”.

She is fearless but couples that with humility which makes her a joy to work with.”  Other testimonials refer to Alison as “such a fighter”, “offering a personal touch with her approach and attitude” and “the go-to person for enforcement against offshore trusts”.
