Lucy Brown

PARTNER

Lucy advises on all aspects of family law and issues arising upon relationship breakdown, including divorce, financial remedies, nuptial agreements, injunctive proceedings, and children matters. She specialises in high-net-worth family matters, which often involve disputes that have complex international, offshore, or financial elements. Many of Lucy’s cases involve corporate structures or jurisdiction issues. As a result of her experience, she has a developed understanding of the issues, complexities and strategic factors involved in such cases.

Lucy has acted for a wide range of clients, and provides thorough, reassuring and proactive advice and guidance. Whilst Lucy has considerable experience of litigation, she is also well versed in achieving results outside of court proceedings when appropriate, tailored to the individual’s preferences and goals. Lucy is committed to obtaining the best outcome for her clients, but has a highly personable and compassionate approach.

Lucy is a member of Resolution, an organisation of family lawyers committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes.

After achieving a first-class degree in Philosophy, and attending law school to complete her GDL, Lucy undertook her training contract alongside her LPC at a well-known family law firm where she qualified, and subsequently rose rapidly to Senior Associate. Lucy joined Alexiou Fisher Philipps in 2022.

Lucy lives in London and outside of work enjoys travelling, holding a particular fondness for Mexico and Brazil, spinning, pescatarian cooking, reading and art.

Experience

Testimonials

  • Acted for a husband where the separation date was hotly contested. This affected the value of company assets brought into the divorce. Negotiated a settlement which enabled the client to retain their corporate interests free from any claim from their spouse.
  • Representing a UK client who had been the higher earner whilst also taking on the lion’s share of the homemaker/childcare responsibilities in contested financial remedy proceedings, against their spouse based in Scandinavia. Enabled the client to retain 50% of the assets to include the family home despite the other alleging non-matrimonial assets.
  • Successfully defended the respondent to an application for a non-molestation order and an occupation order, allowing a client to remain in their home. All unnecessary restrictions against the client were removed.
  • Application to take a child temporarily to Eastern Europe. The fact of the war in Ukraine was a circumstance in the court’s decision making.
  • Acted for an intervenor who was a child of the parties to the main financial proceedings, relating to issues surrounding the ownership of a property which had been the family home.

"Lucy has been a fantastic support to me since I came to see her after a sudden separation from my husband. I was in a terrible state and she spent a lot of time reassuring me and explaining my rights in layman’s terms. Her patience, kindness and professionalism were just what I needed. I literally don’t know what I’d have done without her".
