Lester Aldridge LLP

Family

Joanna Kay is a Partner in the Family team.

Joanna advises on all private family law matters, including divorce, judicial separation, financial settlements, cohabitation claims, and children matters such as international relocation and surrogacy. She has a wealth of experience advising on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements as a financial planning tool. She is regularly instructed on these, often involving high net-worth clients with international considerations.

Joanna’s clients are based in the UK and abroad, often with substantial assets and complex arrangements. During financial negotiations, she uses her commercial insight, strategy and judgement to achieve swift, practical and cost-effective resolutions where possible. Her cases often settle out of court, and she provides strong representation when court proceedings are required. Joanna’s clients are fully supported throughout the time they work together.

Joanna qualified in 2004. Having been a partner in two niche family law firms, she joined Lester Aldridge in 2023 as a Partner in the London office.
