Shakespeare Martineau LLP

Family

Legal Director

Sonia is a key senior member of our family team in Leicester, with a wealth of experience gained over more than 25 years.

As a long-standing divorce lawyer, Sonia has an outstanding reputation as a talented negotiator, with a calm but tenacious approach.

With an enviable background in all family law topics and consistently recognised in the Legal 500, Sonia is skilled in dealing with family breakdowns involving trusts, farms, inheritance and pensions, as well as nuptial planning and child disputes.

She has an eye for detail and will find imaginative, often commercial, solutions to the range of issues presented to her.

"I never see my work as ‘transactional’. My clients deserve more than that. I need to know that I have secured the very best outcome for them, so that they can have the best possible start in the next chapter of their life."
