Lisa Pickering, Director and Solicitor

Lisa specialises in all areas of family law including divorce and separation, disputes involving children including problems when one parent wants to take children to live abroad, financial matters on separation, cohabitation and protecting yourself from domestic abuse.  

Lisa really does prefer to resolve disputes in a non-confrontational way.  She is a member of Resolution, an organisation for family lawyers whose code of practice encompasses the belief that family law disputes should be dealt with in a constructive way designed to preserve people’s dignity and to encourage agreements.

In a moment of genius or insanity (we’re not sure which but it’s a fine line) Lisa has signed up to endure an 11-day trek for charity through the foothills of the Himalayas in November 2016.  The training has begun already but so far Lisa really, really isn’t enjoying it.  

If her training is anything to go by, it is likely that the trek will involve a fair amount of futile swearing.  

An escapee from Essex, Lisa brought ineffective-but-enthusiastic-arm-waving (unhelpful), a high intellect and low formality to Picasso Legal (a perfect combination) and the volume of laugh that can burst eardrums in the room next door (ask Bob, the building manager: he knows).   

Lisa Pickering has been confirmed as an Advanced Specialist having gained an accreditation with Resolution.  

Lisa chose to test her skills and expertise through a rigorous assessment of her knowledge, abilities and way that she works with clients and other people.  

It was an eight-week process which culminated in a weekend crammed with questions, answers, too much coffee and notepaper everywhere!

And it was all worth it.  Lisa has proven she knows her family law and earned particular specialisms in domestic abuse and issues regarding children. 

We at Picasso Legal all believed she knew her stuff already but everybody loves to get a certificate!
