Ann Hallmark

Senior Solicitor

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Ann joined the family team in September 2021 and is based in the Skipton office. She has worked in the legal field since 1987, when she began working for a large international firm in their London office. Ann attended the College of Law in Chester to complete the Legal Practice Course and, after returning south, subsequently qualified as a solicitor in 1997 whilst working for a medium sized practice based in the south east. Having been born in the north west, Ann returned to live in Lancashire in 2001 and has worked for a number of prominent local firms of solicitors before joining Walker Foster. Ann has a wide experience in dealing with all aspects of family law. She has been a member of the Law Society’s Advanced Family Law panel for a number of years and her specialisms are matrimonial finances and private law children matters. Ann endeavours to adopt a pragmatic and creative approach to problem solving around family law issues, always with an eye to the bigger picture and very much tailoring her advice to her client’s individual circumstances. No two cases are identical and Ann feels that it is important to listen carefully to each client’s objectives and to get to know them well during the course of their matter in order to deliver an outcome that suits the client and their family’s needs, both in the short and long term. She is empathic and a great listener but also practical and pro-active with decades of experience in working to find solutions and outcomes for clients who will invariably be at an emotionally vulnerable time in their lives. When not at work Ann enjoys music, the open air, allotment gardening, crafting and holidays by the sea.

Good investment !

Prior to the consultation I was making critical assumptions which were incorrect, which would have been costly in both financial and non financial terms. I also received negotiating positions I had not considered, potentially resulting in savings. There was more formality than I was initially expecting, but the overall feeling was it was warm and personal. Great investment. Thank you.

Ann Hallmark; Supportive, Caring and Effective Legal Services

I first approached Ann on recommendation when wanting advice on a potential financial agreement with my ex-husband. There were several unusual aspects in terms of gender equality about our family finances, and, from the off, Ann understood my circumstances as a woman and the main earner, offered excellent advice, answered all of my concerns and then set about ensuring that she delivered an effective, supportive service that enabled us to divorce in such a way that ensured my family was protected, the agreement was equitable and my ex-husband and I stayed friends through the process. I appreciated her clarity, thoughtfulness, thoroughness and effective, responsive service. I have recommended Ann to friends already and will continue to do so.

We engaged Ann Hallmark (Family Law) and David R. Barton (Property). Both are based in their Skipton Office. Ann was recommended to me through a mutual friend and the service my partner and I received did not disappoint. Ann is responsive. diligent and cool-headed. Ann can explain the law in plain English, her advice is sound and personalised. David R. Barton dealt with our property matters (trusts and conveyancing) and was extremely helpful, often putting up with a highly emotive series of transactions. We were in very safe hands. We would highly recommend both Ann and David at Walker Foster.
