I have been a family lawyer for over thirty years and a specialist in the financial consequence of relationship breakdown throughout that career. My focus as a barrister has been Financial Remedy cases – primarily divorce-related but also Schedule 1 claims and property disputes between unmarried cohabitants. I have been ranked in the leading directories for many years and have been a Member of the Legal Advisory Group to the Law Commission in 2006 / 07 – “Cohabitation: The Financial Consequences of Relationship Breakdown” and more recently to the Law Commission Project – “The Enforcement of Family Financial Orders” (2016).
I was appointed a Deputy District Judge in 2007 and have sat on a part-time basis continuously since then, undertaking both civil and family work. More recently I have sat mostly undertaking complex cases in the FRU at the Central Family Court but also in the other Financial Remedy Courts nationally. As a Deputy Judge I have conducted many final hearings and countless FDRs in all types of cases, ranging from needs cases with very modest assets and the parties in person to ‘big money’ trials with assets of many millions of pounds and the parties represented by both leading and junior counsel.
I am thorough, a good communicator and my court is business-like. My aim is to ensure hearings are sufficiently clam and not overly formal to allow the parties to give their best evidence and allow their cases to be both fully presented and heard.

Lucinda is a barrister specialising in family and court of protection matters. Her family practice covers a range of sensitive and complex issues in private law disputes involving children and separating couples, as well as public law matters where local authorities have a part to play. Her court of protection practice involves welfare and financial decisions made in the interests of a person who lacks capacity.

Lucinda believes fervently in the benefits of alternative dispute resolution. She is also an accredited civil mediator. She is committed to assisting parties to use creative ways to resolve their disputes in a time and cost effective way.

As a barrister, Lucinda has a very busy practice and travels extensively for court throughout England and Wales. With an undergraduate degree in French and Italian and a keen interest in foreign languages, she is equipped to arbitrate in matters with an international element.

If parties prefer, Lucinda is fully conversant with most video platforms and can arrange for your arbitration to take place remotely. In-person arbitrations can also be arranged through her clerks at St Johns Buildings Chambers (please see link to website and contact telephone number).

At home, Lucinda spends her time chasing after her three small boys. She loves the sea and, whenever possible, escapes to snowy peaks.
