Lyn Ayrton

Arbitration Partner

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Lyn is regarded as one of the most effective practitioners in family law in the North of England. She has been in practice for nearly 35 years and has invaluable experience in dealing with complex and high value financial settlements arising from divorce and separation. Lyn has led the way in the region for many years when it comes to resolving disputes out of court. She is a highly sought after ‘judge’ for arbitration hearings and private financial dispute resolution hearings. Just like clients who appreciate Lyn’s no nonsense approach and value her sound judgment, so do the parties who appear before her at hearings. Lyn was the first family lawyer in Leeds to be ranked as a Star Individual by Chambers & Partners and is one of just two lawyers listed in the ‘Hall of Fame’ in Legal 500. Comments in Legal 500 say that she is ‘the real Queen of financial remedy in the North East region’ and ‘at the top of her game’. She is also described as ‘gold standard. She brings judgment, maturity and experience to a case and strives for the best result for her clients, but never loses sight of the costs and the risks and gives realistic advice.’ Lyn is also described as ‘strong, extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic and devoted to her clients’ interests. She is committed to achieving a negotiated outcome, whilst being a person you would want on your team if that isn’t achievable. She is a player on a truly national level.’ Chambers describes her as a ‘true expert in her field in terms of technical knowledge which she combines with an ability to interact with clients in a way that instantly puts them at ease, which brings tremendous reassurance at very challenging times”’ and ‘extremely experienced.’ Lyn is a member of The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. Away from work, Lyn has a passion for learning new skills. This has ranged in recent years from a Diploma in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to dry stone walling! At the moment she can usually be found riding her Vespa to Italian language classes.

Thank you Lyn

Thank you for all your help and care. You really made a very distressing process bearable. It would have been far more painful without you.

Lyn was my rock

You have been a professional rock in my life during the most difficult period of my life but the calmness, objectivity and kindness with which you provided advice and guidance supported and carried me through the process such that I have emerged a much happier individual. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
