Frances Lindsay - Senior Partner

Frances Lindsay is a qualified solicitor and member of the Law Society Family Panel and Resolution (formerly Solicitors Family Law Association). She is also a trained Collaborative Lawyer and member of the Collaborative Family Law Group. You can find more information about these organisations in our Useful Links section.

Prior to qualifying as a solicitor, Frances took some time to get married, have a few children and work as a software trainer in the days when computers were coal-fired. She then worked as a head hunter in the financial sector before getting a divorce. Still en-route to her legal qualification, she re-married and had a few more children. Not only does Frances have many years’ experience as a family lawyer, she also possesses first hand experience of the stress of divorce and of  being  a single, working parent in a tough world. And in case you think all this has put her off marriage for ever, Frances is pleased to say that she took the plunge again in June 2007. Frances did drive a sensible blue Mini Cooper S but now has something a little more sporty.

Dominic Wisdom - Trainee Solicitor

Dominic joined us as a Paralegal but we thought he should stay so we promoted him to Trainee Solicitor since he had the qualifications anyway. He is half-way there now. Sadly Dominic drives a Golf.

Karen Goggin - Support

Karen is Frances’ PA. She has years of experience as a legal secretary and is now our fully qualified first aider, so paper cuts are swiftly treated with care, compassion and a sweetie if you whine enough. Karen does drive to work but you can never be sure in what.

Carol Cox - Support

Carol is a well established member of the Frances Lindsay & Co support team. Nothing much suprises her any more. She does an amazing job of keeping Jemma under control. Carol drives a Renault clio - but then someone has to.

We can hardly call Val support staff, Val is more than that and has been Piers’ right hand for more than 35 years. Piers and Val are a most amazing team. Val rides a bicycle!

Sarah - Reception Manager

Sarah is our morning and slightly into the afternoon receptionist. She is likely to be the first person you meet at Frances Lindsay & Co and like the rest of the team she is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. We like her so much that we don’t hold it against her that the small Chelsea tractor in the car park is hers

Sheila Hind - Receptionist

Sheila is our afternoon Receptionist. If you come to see us in the afternoon Sheila will be here to greet you with her warm friendly manner. She came to us on a temporary contract but we just couldn’t let her go.
