The Times newspaper has selected LMP founding partner Simon Pigott, who acted for the husband in Rotenberg v Rotenberg & Ors [2024] EWFC 185, to be its featured lawyer this week.
In today’s column written by Catherine Baksi, Simon highlighted the unusual challenge of the case being that he never met his client face to face; nominated the late Blanche Lucas, the doyenne of family law in the late 1970s and early 1980s as the person in law he most admired; underlined the current discrimination of unmarried couples as the law to change; confessed to being inadvertently locked in a police cell as being one of funniest things that ever happened to him, or at least his client thought so and finally, choosing the “happy memories” associated with a mojito to be his favourite cocktail.
