Lucy Bolton

Spear’s Review

Family lawyer Lucy Bolton is head of the children team at Vardags’ Manchester office, working with high-profile and HNW families across north-west England.

Bolton balances an understanding of complex financial structures with attention to detail on personal matters involving children’s access arrangements, including international disputes, allegations of harm and family alienation. Recent cases have involved judgments measured in the tens of millions of pounds. 

Equally committed to her clients and her colleagues, Bolton is training principal for Vardags, and holds responsibility for the pastoral care of all its trainee solicitors.
