Joanna Illingworth

Partner

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Joanna leads Boys & Maughan's Canterbury family law team and has been a partner since May 2017. Joanna deals with a wide range of family issues, including: separation and divorce, financial arrangements arising from separation and divorce, arrangements for children on a separation or divorce, cohabitation disputes, preparation of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, dissolution of civil partnerships, acting for grandparents in respect of children matters, and injunctions. Joanna is sensitive to the emotional and practical difficulties that follow the breakdown of a relationship and the uncertainties that these changes bring. Joanna is committed to guiding clients through the legal process every step of the way and will strive to achieve the best and most suitable solution. Joanna recognises that each set of circumstances is different and aims to provide a personal service that is tailored to meet the needs of each client. A member of Resolution, Joanna is a trained collaborative lawyer, which means she also acts for clients who choose to divorce or separate using the collaborative law process. Following this approach, you would commit to resolving financial matters and arrangements for your children without going to court, and you, your partner and your lawyers would reach an agreement together through a series of meetings. Some of Joanna’s clients and their partners have significant wealth. In these cases, the needs in respect of examining and protecting finances, properties, trusts and international assets can be highly complex.

professional, patient and persistant!

I had a long story to impart, and I am not known for being focussed and to the point, but Joanna extracted the salient issues to reach the resolution I was looking for! I am most grateful - thank you.

Efficient and professional

I had a very positive experience working with Joanna through my divorce. She provided useful advice preparing for and during mediation and then drafted the final documents. She was also a helpful sounding board at an emotionally charged time.

First class from start to finish, couldn’t be happier with the service provided. I would choose Joanna a million times over, simply the best. Made me feel so comfortable, she’s kind, attentive, I could go on and on. 10/10
