Brabners Chaffe Street strengths family practice with specialist appointment
8/09/2009

Leading law firm Brabners Chaffe Street has appointed Lindsay Yateman as a Senior Associate in its Family practice.

Lindsay, who joins from Chester-based Storrar Cowdry, is a specialist in `collaborative` family law, which involves four-way meetings between the couple and their lawyers where everyone aims to reach amicable agreements, without the added pressure of settling differences in a courtroom. Brabners Chaffe Street has already seen a distinct increase in couples looking to resolve family issues in this way as it is less confrontational and is often far quicker than the traditional court process.

Lindsay is an expert in all areas of family law with particular interest in complex financial cases. She started her career working in Greater London and migrated to the North West from Windsor eight years ago.

Lindsay will work alongside practice head Helen Marriott to build the profile of the firm`s family team across the North West.

"Brabners Chaffe Street is renowned for building strong long-term relationships with clients, which enables them to provide the most appropriate advice for each case," said Lindsay Yateman, Senior Associate, Brabners Chaffe Street. "I will be able to bring my specific expertise into a dedicated, insightful team and help to grow our client base across the region."

"Lindsay`s experience in collaborative family law will be a huge asset to the practice, as we`re already seeing more people looking for advice on `discrete divorces` that can save everyone the time and fuss of court proceedings," said Helen Marriott, Partner, Brabners Chaffe Street. "Her years of practical and innovative advice will be invaluable to the team."
