With thanks to the efforts of the entire LMP team, the firm is once again included in the elite Ultra High Net Worth rankings table of the Chambers HNW Guide, which identifies the leading professional advisers to the Private Wealth market in the UK. Firms in the Ultra High Net Worth category regularly handle matrimonial finance matters where the assets in dispute exceed £50-100 million. They also work on matters of lower value but possess the capacity regularly to handle the highest value cases
LMP founding partners Jeremy Levison and Simon Pigott are joined by Benjamin Stowe this year in this top-ranking table with Jeremy ranked as a Senior Statesman, Simon once again in Band 1.
The remaining three partners, Alison Hayes, Miranda Green and Lucy Hoare are recognised in the main rankings for the complementary Family/Matrimonial Finance: High Net Worth tables. Alison goes up a banding this year; Miranda, who joined the firm last October enters the HNW Guide for the first time; Lucy, who was promoted to partner in April celebrates her well-deserved move to the “Up and Coming” partners’ listing following four consecutive years in the “Associates to watch” column.
All the firms ranked in both tables are able to advise on matters involving significant complexity, including cross-border divorce and separation matters and pre- and post-nuptial agreements for wealthy clients.
Simon also continues to appear in the Spotlight table for mediators; one of 43 specialists to be recognised.
The HNW Guide, now in its eleventh year, has always featured LMP, and the firm is pleased to be included again this year.
In ranking the leading lawyers and law firms specialising in advising HNW clients, the Guide also features feedback from clients and peers.
