Lucy Marks is a London divorce lawyer specialising in cases involving financial disputes arising on divorce or relationship breakdown, often acting in high value assets cases. Lucy also deals with private children cases including leave to remove from the jurisdiction, contact and residence. She has been involved in a number of reported cases.

Lucy gained an MA in Cambridge University in French and Spanish. She then worked as a television journalist at Sky News before re-training as a lawyer. She obtained a distinction in her legal practice course and then undertook her training contract at Mishcon de Reya in London where she qualified in 2001.

Since then, she has worked exclusively as a family lawyer, most recently as an Associate in a Central London practice.

Lucy currently works at Dawson Cornwell, one of the UK’s leading specialist family law firms. The Chambers Guide to the UK Legal Profession 2010 describes the firm as “an elite practice with exceptional levels of understanding and experience.” The firm is ranked highly for matrimonial finance and came top in cross border children work. The firm is also ranked highly in the Legal 500 UK 2009.

Lucy lives in London and is married with two sons and two step-sons. In addition to the experience of being both a mother and step-mother, the impact of her own parents’ divorce gives her unique personal insight and empathy into the problems and difficulties faced by parents and children going through divorce and separation.

Lucy speaks French and Spanish and her knowledge of languages often assists in cases where there is an international element.
