We welcome Emma Irven as the latest addition to the Levison Meltzer Pigott (LMP) team.

Emma joins LMP having gained 8 years of previous family law experience in London.

Durham University graduate Emma advises on all areas of Family Law, including divorce, matrimonial finance, nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, relationship breakdown of unmarried partners, and private children matters. In relation to children matters, she has particular experience in Hague convention cases having recently assisted on two reported cases in the High Court. Emma can also advise on claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.

LMP founding partner Simon Pigott welcomes Emma to the team:

“We are delighted that Emma has chosen to further her career as a family law specialist and has joined our close-knit team. LMP remains committed to being a boutique family law firm and so the partners recognise how important recruitment at Emma’s level is to the future of the firm. If selected wisely, and we take this very seriously, today’s legal recruits, will potentially be the LMP partners of tomorrow. To this end, we wish Emma a very long and successful career with LMP.”

Lucy joined Levison Meltzer Pigott LLP in December 2022, having qualified as a Solicitor in 2016.

Lucy specialises in the full range of family matters including financial disputes, disputes in respect of arrangements for children and nuptial agreements.  Her cases often have an international element, involving complex business structures and family trusts and disputes surrounding inherited wealth.  Since joining LMP Lucy has been involved in several high profile and complex cases that LMP have advised upon.

Levison Meltzer Pigott Managing Partner, Simon Pigott, congratulated Lucy on her promotion.

“I am delighted to welcome Lucy to the LMP partnership. It is always rewarding to watch young lawyers, such as Lucy, grow in confidence and experience ready to step up to the responsibilities and challenges of being a partner. We are thrilled that ten years post-qualification, Lucy is now an LMP partner and we look forward to working with her and making the most of the opportunities, in the years to come.”

Jeremy Levison, who founded the firm in 1998 with Simon, agreed:

“One of the key premises of the continued success of LMP has been to identify young lawyers who will become the partners of the future.  From the day she joined, it was clear that Lucy was indeed on that partnership track and we are very pleased indeed to call her a partner.”

Lucy Hoare was happy to respond:
“I am so pleased to be joining the partnership at LMP and to play a role in shaping the firm’s future. I look forward to continuing to embrace the firm’s founding principles, most notably a strong focus on client care, whilst working alongside a supportive and collaborative team of excellent lawyers. I am looking forward to being an LMP partner and all it entails.”

As of the 1^st April 2026, with Lucy’s promotion, there are now six full-time partners at LMP.
