Levison Meltzer Pigott

FOUNDED IN 1998, Levison Meltzer Pigott (LMP) was one of the first niche solicitors’ practices specialising exclusively in family law. The firm has since doubled in size and has retained its reputation as one of the UK’s leading firms for divorce and family law.

Based in the City of London, close to St Paul’s Cathedral, LMP’s partners are known for their first-class technical expertise and for providing innovative solutions to client dilemmas.

The firm’s success is founded on hard work, professionalism and dedication, as well as the experience and talent of an outstanding team. The firm’s stated goal is to achieve what is best for its clients, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, collaborative law or – if needed – court proceedings.

Its lawyers deliver realistic, cost-effective advice while retaining an understanding of clients’ concerns and aspirations. The firm has always been at the forefront of legal developments in family law and its lawyers have acted on cases which led to changes to or clarification of the law.

LMP has a sound track record in the following: divorce and separation, pre and postnuptial agreements, civil partnerships, cohabitation and the rights of unmarried couples, together with all issues relating to children. The firm’s lawyers are particularly experienced in complex financial cases including those involving the treatment of pensions, property, Inheritance Act applications and family businesses. The team has expertise in locating hidden assets, as well as defending and challenging trust structures and complicated jurisdictional disputes. International cases are a significant part of the firm’s practice and a number of the partners are fellows of the International Academy of Family Lawyers, giving the firm access to an established network of divorce specialists in other jurisdictions.

LMP’s UK and internationally based clients come from diverse backgrounds, including the City and commerce, sports professionals, industry, music, media, politics and the arts. The firm is acknowledged for its high level of client care and discretion in dealing with sensitive issues for clients who are sometimes living in the public eye.
