Since it was established six years ago by Charlotte Leyshon, Lux Family Law has gone from strength-to-strength, providing a ‘high end niche family law offering’ for an almost exclusively a high-net-worth client base made up of professionals and their ex-spouses. The tone of the practice is set by the ’personable, empathetic and technically excellent’ Leyshon, who is ‘incredibly experienced in financial remedy work’, and this permeates through the rest of the team with a degree of consistency which ensures that ’whichever lawyer you get is committed, knowledgeable and well supported’. At an associate level, the ‘enormously practical and sensible’ Emily Borghese  continues to impress and has ’an exceptional understanding of family law, far beyond her years’.
