Alison Hayes

Spear’s Review

Having joined Levison Meltzer Pigott as a partner in 2002, Alison Hayes handles all aspects of matrimonial, children and family-related work for her diverse client base.

She specialises in financial remedy cases and those of a complex nature. Many cases involve locating hidden assets and defending and attacking trust structures, and are frequently complicated by jurisdictional disputes. Hayes also arranges pre- and postnuptial agreements, as well as cohabitation agreements.

Hayes describes her style as ‘low-key and informal’, and her method is one of practicality, advocating a rational approach based on accurate information. She aims to ‘manage client expectations and provide realistic advice, without incurring large fees’.
