Carolyn Lord

Solicitor

Not accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Born and brought up in Leeds, Carolyn left the city for only a few years to complete an honours degree in English Literature and History at the University of York. She then worked within local government, where she worked in urban regeneration and was then involved in implementing new legislation and policy, before studying law and achieving honours in the Law Society’s final examination. While still a trainee from 1990 at Hammond Suddards (now Squire Patton Boggs), she was appointed secretary to the firm’s multi-disciplinary Building Society Unit and was then seconded to work for a national infrastructure client in preparation for a six month energy-related public inquiry. This, together with her experience working with Leeds City Council, led her to specialise in planning and other areas of public law. A strong professional team is essential for the success of any large or complex planning project. Carolyn takes pride in her ability to anchor and co-ordinate such teams. She has followed through on her belief in a team ethos, building niche planning law practice Wilbraham & Co, working as a founding consultant to Walton & Co (2004 to 2008) and as in-house adviser to the GMI group of companies (2008 to 2012).
