The HNW Guide, now in its tenth 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.
This year’s Guide includes the following testimonials:
About the firm:
“Their senior team, who I’d classify as senior family lawyers, bring a huge amount of respect to what the firm has. It’s a personable firm, and good value due to its boutique feel.”
“Even the juniors and admin staff at Levison Meltzer Pigott were excellent. All responses were very timely and I felt put first in everything.”
Simon Pigott:
“Simon’s great, a pleasure to work with. I really like him: he’s a decent, normal human being who knows his stuff. He’s been around a while and people respect him. He’s an amazing mediator as well.”
“I felt in safe hands with Simon as mediator. He was measured, fair and listened to both sides. That meant we had as few sessions as possible and all was done in good time rather than drawing it out.”
“Simon Pigott is a much-respected statesman of family law. He exudes statesmanlike qualities. He has done this so long and is very good at anticipating things; nothing takes him by surprise.”
Jeremy Levison:
“Jeremy’s clients love him. He’s got the right perspective and has been doing this long enough to know that we’re all presenting clients’ cases and not to get overly personal or engage in a fight.”
“Jeremy Levison is a lovely bloke and a brilliant practitioner. I really enjoy being against him on cases.”
Alison Hayes:
“Alison Hayes is a very smart cookie.”
“Alison Hayes is completely dedicated to every case. She’s always completely on top of everything.”
“Alison is really firm, really kind and quick.”
Kate Stovold:
“Kate Stovold is a ‘no stone left unturned’ lawyer. She also manages clients’ expectations well and she is very measured in her advice.”
“Kate Stovold is one of those people who has a fist of iron in a velvet glove. She is very easy to get on with and personable, but she does not hold back for the client. She is a real fighter.”
“Kate Stovold is always responsive, compassionate, judicious and has a keen eye for understanding my point of view.”
Benjamin Stowe:
“Benjamin Stowe has a real fluency with cases and he is really comfortable dealing with complicated matters.”
Lucy Hoare:
“I was super impressed with Lucy’s ability. She has a lovely manner; she has this real humility about her, and she is a super quick learner.”
“Lucy Hoare is utterly charming and fantastic to deal with.”
“I was struck by how pragmatic she was. She was appropriately reassuring and ensured the client was on board. She was really good at keeping everyone calm.”
