We are delighted to announce the appointment of a new Partner in our Leicester Family Law team following the promotion of Lisa-Marie Leanders.
Lisa-Marie, who was promoted to Partner on 1 December 2022, first spent time with us between 2010 and 2016, before re-joining in 2020 following our acquisition of niche family practice, Glynis Wright & Co.
Lisa-Marie Leanders specialises in family law, advising on divorce and financial settlements that involve complex issues and substantial assets, in addition to supporting clients with pre and postnuptial agreements and Children Act disputes. She is a Resolution accredited collaborative practitioner and committee member of the Leicestershire Law Society.
On her promotion, Lisa-Marie said:
“Being part of the Nelsons team has been some of the most rewarding work of my career. It’s given me the opportunity to face new challenges and develop not only my own skill set but the services provided by the business.
“I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved and I’m excited to see what the future holds for me and the phenomenal family team that I am so fortunate to be a part of.”
Turnover for our Leicester office has increased by 19% in the last financial year to £4.6million, with the acquisition of Glynis Wright & Co two years ago being a key driver towards this success. The Leicester-based members of our Family Law team have delivered fantastic results, generating fees of more than £1.2m and boosting the growth of our wider Family Law department.
Our Chief Executive, Stewart Vandermark, said:
“Lisa-Marie is a great asset to the team and thoroughly deserves this recognition of her dedication and hard work. It’s clear from her work, and the results she achieves, that she cares deeply about the outcomes for her clients.
“Looking ahead, I’m excited to see Lisa-Marie and the rest of the team continue to succeed as they strive to achieve our vision of becoming the strongest family team in the East Midlands.”
