Lucy Greenwood is a Partner at The International Family Law Group LLP (iFLG).  She has a broad depth of experience and knowledge in resolving family issues for a huge variety of national and international families having specialised exclusively in the field of family law for over 20 years.  Much of Lucy’s work involves choice of forum which often requires immediate and urgent action to protect a client’s position.

Lucy deals regularly with complicated domestic and international divorce and financial cases where tactical decisions, balanced against pragmatism and the client’s wishes, often need to be taken very early in the case.  Lucy’s cases, often high net worth, involve dealing with off-shore trusts, corporate entities, tracing assets abroad, international enforcement issues and pension sharing (both national and international). Recognition of divorces and marriages often feature in her work.

Lucy specialises in the drafting of relationship agreements, including pre-marital and post-marital agreements, having done many such agreements involving different parts of the world.  Many of the cases Lucy has handled have necessitated at least initial involvement of advice and sometimes possibly the joinder of lawyers in other jurisdictions.

Lucy handles cases concerning all financial aspects of family breakdown. She is meticulous and always ensures her clients are protected as much as possible from the rigors of litigation.  Where a conciliatory approach is possible, Lucy will find it, but similarly she has the knowledge and experience to advise when a court-based route is required.

Lucy writes for websites, legal journals and presents seminars and webinars for the legal profession. She has presented lectures in Spain, Hong Kong, Netherlands, Washington DC and Bangkok and has commented for national and international media. Lucy also participates in the Family Court User Group, assisted with the development of the marital agreement section of Settify and has contributed to Government Consultation Papers.
