Lucy Morris
Lux Family LawHaving grown year-on-year since it was established in 2018, five-strong Cardiff-based family law boutique Lux Family Law has made a strong imprint on the local market, as well as further afield, including London, where it picks up both standalone and referral work across a wide range of family matters. Founding partner Charlotte Leyshon has been pivotal to the success experienced by the firm and has a ‘first-class reputation for dealing with high value/complex financial remedies cases’, often involving a consideration of multi-jurisdictional aspects. Recently promoted to partner, Lucy Morris regularly assists Leyshon on high-net-worth divorce work, as well as carving out a niche for herself in relation to matrimonial work involving Court of Protection issues. Solicitor Emily Borghese ’has an old head on young shoulders’ and is noted as ‘an up-and-coming family law talent’ in spite of her relatively junior status.
