Philippa Pearson.

Philippa is highly experienced in family law including both divorce and the separation of cohabiting couples, especially in mid-high net worth cases.

Philippa joined Lanyon Bowdler as partner in May 2020 and is based at the Hereford office.

She deals largely with financial matters involving pensions, business assets and landed estates, and has a particular interest in the competing claims of third parties and other beneficial interests which often arise in farming cases, which is an area in which she specialises.

She is a member of Resolution and subscribes to their code of conduct, and therefore seeks to find solutions to the issues that often arise out of family breakdown in as amicable and constructive a manner as possible.

Philippa has been qualified since 1988 and was a partner in London until 2004 when she escaped to the Welsh Marches with her husband to be near the family (who are Welsh and West Midlands based) and to raise their own family (two teenage girls and accompanying adults).

She is a highly-respected voice in family law and has written a number of legal books, including the Lawpack’s DIY Separation and Divorce Guide. Philippa used to be a regular voice on BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine show and can now often be heard on Sunshine Radio.
