Newly qualified solicitor Camilla Robertson joins LMP team

We welcome Camilla Robertson as the latest addition to the Levison Meltzer Pigott (LMP) team.

Camilla joins LMP as a newly qualified solicitor, her accreditation attained following completion of the LLM, the relatively new SQE qualification and a training contract with a leading City law firm with a strong reputation in family law.

Camilla is a law graduate of Bristol University but grew up in Edinburgh attending Fettes College.

LMP founding partner Simon Pigott welcomes Camilla to the team:

“Camilla joins LMP at an exciting time for the firm and for family law. My partners and I remain committed to being a boutique family law firm and the client benefits this status brings. It does, however, mean that we take recruitment at this entry level very seriously as it is so very important for the future of the firm. We are not looking to expand the team for size-sake; it is not about numbers. This is simply the recognition that newly qualified solicitors, such as Camilla, will potentially be the LMP partners of tomorrow. To this end, we welcome Camilla to the team and wish her a very long and successful career with LMP.”

The remaining three partners, Alison HayesMiranda 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.

The recently published Chambers Family Law 2026 Guide covers close to 30 jurisdictions. The guide provides the latest information on divorce processes and jurisdiction requirements, division of assets, spousal maintenance, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, child custody and child support, and ADR.

LMP’s Jeremy LevisonMiranda Green and Alex Bartlett have provided the overview for the Guide’s key jurisdiction of England & Wales.

“This was the most natural chapter for us to write as this is the jurisdiction in which we operate,” explains partner Miranda Green. “The divorce process has indeed been streamlined considerably since April 2022 with the introduction of no-fault legislation. It is still, however, a hugely complex process and we were happy to contribute to this Guide believing that being better informed from the start will provide a positive opportunity for couples to work together to achieve mutually acceptable arrangements for the future.”
