Alison Edmondson
Spear’s Review
A skilled negotiator and experienced litigator, family lawyer Alison Edmondson is a proponent of alternatives to litigation, including mediation, collaborative law and arbitration.
The Edinburgh-based partner at SKO Family Law has significant experience of financial issues arising from separation and divorce, including where individuals’ business interests, pensions, tax position and inherited wealth are involved. This also includes the impact of separation on retirement and planning for retirement.
In addition, Edmondson is adept at handling cases where one party has lost capacity, as well as the international protection of vulnerable adults and disputed inheritance claims.
Clients, Edmondson notes, ‘want clear, analytical, pragmatic advice tempered by sensitivity to the very personal nature of the matters we are discussing’.
