Océane Hamayon Lesné

Foreign Qualified Lawyer (France)

Océane is a dual-qualified French Avocat, registered with the Paris Bar, and an English solicitor.

She holds a French Master’s degree in internal, international and comparative family law. Before joining Alexiou Fisher Philipps (now AFP Bloom) in 2020, she undertook two six-month placements in law firms specialised in international family matters, in London and Paris.

Océane represents and advises clients on complex Anglo-French family law cases, including high-value financial claims (sometimes in excess of £100 million) and sensitive private law children issues. Her works covers the consequences of relationship breakdowns (divorces and separations), as well as the preparation of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements involving significant wealth.

She is a member of the Franco-British Lawyers Society, and of Resolution, an organisation of family lawyers committed to adopting a constructive and non-confrontational approach in all their cases.
