This year, we’re celebrating a very special milestone for Fiona Wilson, Head of Family Law at Lawson West Solicitors, who has been qualified as a solicitor for 30 years.

Fiona qualified as a solicitor in 1996 and has spent three decades building an impressive career in Family Law. Throughout that time, she has supported countless clients through some of the most challenging and important periods of their lives, providing clear, practical and compassionate legal advice.

A career in Family Law

Fiona has extensive experience across a broad range of Family Law matters, including divorce and separation, financial arrangements and issues relating to children.

Her approach has always been centred around understanding each client’s individual circumstances and helping them make informed decisions about their future. Fiona believes in providing straightforward advice while working constructively to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients.

Fiona joined Lawson West in 2022 and now leads our Family Law team, bringing with her many years of experience and a wealth of knowledge to both her clients and colleagues.

Thirty years of making a difference

Thirty years of qualification represents a significant achievement, but for Fiona, the milestone is about more than the number of years.

Family Law is a particularly personal area of legal practice. Clients often come to a solicitor at times of uncertainty, stress and significant change. Fiona’s experience enables her to guide clients through these difficult circumstances with professionalism, empathy and a clear understanding of the issues involved.

Over three decades, the law and the way Family Law is practised have changed considerably. Fiona has continued to adapt throughout her career, keeping her knowledge and expertise up to date while maintaining the client-focused approach that has been central to her work.

Getting to know Fiona

Away from the office, Fiona enjoys spending time with her family and friends, gardening and reading. She is also a keen supporter of her sons and can regularly be found on the sidelines watching rugby.

While her career has undoubtedly been a major part of her life for the last 30 years, it’s clear that Fiona values the relationships she has built with clients, colleagues, friends and family along the way.

Congratulations, Fiona!

Everyone at Lawson West would like to congratulate Fiona on reaching 30 years qualified.

Three decades as a solicitor is an incredible achievement and a testament to Fiona’s dedication to her profession, her clients and Family Law.

We’re delighted to celebrate this milestone with her

 

Over 30 years I have been involved in thousands of cases. My clients have allowed me to assist them in what is undoubtedly a sensitive and emotional time. I am aware that what I do directly affects theirs and their family’s future. Each client has been unique and once I have finished any matter, whether it resolved in or out of the court arena, I take stock. What have a learned? what could I have done differently?   This allows me to continuously provide the best service possible.  It has been a privilege for each and every client – and the best endorsement is clients who have referred not just their friends and family to me, but in due course their own children!
