Lanyon and Bowdler, I need you to know, you’ve a whole packaged solicitor. Perspicacious, persistent, polished, a praiseworthy listener. The name you cry, my reply, Pearson Philippa. A brilliant strategist, incredibly feminine, she clearly resonates with Agrippa. I want to give recognition and thanks to Philippa the creative accelerator. My daughter and I want Philippa to have at least 1000 stars! REVIEW: PHILIPPA PEARSON Finding Philippa I left my solicitor, (no progress for over 2 years, and the future was even bleaker)! Researching and communicating for a new representative, I was met with obtuse obstinance, ghosting, and ignorance. My hope, faith, fight, funds and belief were at rock bottom. I almost walked away with a huge loss of funds! Lanyon Bowdler were recommended, moreover Philippa! Initially my case couldn’t be considered. Then, unexpectantly, a phone call, BOOM! I got representation, Philippa! My journey began July 2024. Philippa is dedicated; consistent and precise. Philippa worked arduously to comprehend and progress my divorce. Providing constant updates, advice and options, whilst heeding my worries and concerns. She always gave me time and answers to impulsive questions. Continuously professional, honest, thoughtful, friendly, empathic, proactive, humane, communicative, advisory, respectful, knowledgeable and restored my faith in the system. Her team were effective, managed and blended, they all worked collaboratively. Her calming, vulnerability and straight talking was legendary. Often grounding me when anger and doubt consumed me. Always going above, beyond, and working excessive hours. Her determination, passion, thoroughness and preparation were exceptional. Our relationship deepened with shared humour, life and banter. (My belief/feeling), we helped one other gain alternative perspectives, develop communications, and be more curious. My divorce and financial proceedings had a positive outcome last December in London; Philippa and I were very happy.

This was a trust of land matter following a breach of an agreement with a previous partner. I was impressed with the forensic approach to identifying, securing, assessing and presenting evidence over the two years that it took to finally resolve the issue. I was able to have several one to one consultations to discuss and catalogue evidence and throughout the process I was reassured that my case was worthy and with a high likelihood of success if it proceeded to a court hearing. I have no doubt that if the evidence was lacking then I would have been told at the earliest, as it was, at each stage, I was able to review and make decisions based on sound knowledgeable advice and experience. Due to technical issues with the case, Philippa referred me to another experienced lawyer who undertook the final aspects of the case which included a mediation process. I was concerned that a handover would require repetition of work but this proved not to be. Philippa's thorough and considered initial work enabled her successor (Claire Yardley) to pick up the reins seamlessly and effectively reach a satisfactory conclusion. Throughout, I felt that both Philippa and Claire were taking a personal interest and cared about the outcome and impact on myself of what was an exceptional experience for me but daily business for them.

Support, advice and execution of my instructions in long drawn out divorce proceedings that were complicated by the other side being determined to avoid making any financial settlement after a marriage lasting 40 years. I was able to have a high level of involvement in what was a complex case which helped reduce my legal costs. All the staff with whom I had contact were helpful and supportive during this very difficult period which included Covid lockdown. Philippa Pearson provided a huge amount of emotional and legal support throughout the eight and a half years it took to get to the Final Hearing, grasping the complexities of the case and understanding the mindset of the other side, both the legal team and my spouse. She was always ready to encourage and support me when I was feeling overwhelmed by the total intransigence and often outrageous behaviour of the other side, reinforcing my belief in the justice of my position, which was borne out by the Judge's comments at the final hearing.

My first call with Philippa Pearson, recommended to me via friends, set my mind at rest and gave clarity to an awful predicament; I knew that the time had come to end a 20+ year marriage, but I wanted to do so in a kind and collaborative way. Philippa's advice meant that we didn't need mediation or the courts to agree our Separation Agreement and, since then, the process off application through the courts for divorce has seemed striaghtforward and unstressed. This is in no small part due to good, fair, reasonable advice, recognised by both my former wife and I.
