BRABNERS Chaffe Street has appointed Lindsay Yateman as a senior associate in its family practice.

Lindsay, who joins from Chester-based Storrar Cowdry, is a specialist in collaborative family law, which involves four-way meetings between the couple and their lawyers where everyone aims to reach amicable agreements, without the added pressure of settling differences in a courtroom.

Brabners Chaffe Street say it has seen an increase in couples looking to resolve family issues in this way because some couples find it less confrontational and it is often quicker than the traditional court process.

Lindsay is an expert in all areas of family law with particular interest in complex financial cases. She started her career working in Greater London and migrated to the North West from Windsor eight years ago.

She will work alongside practice head Helen Marriott to build the profile of the firm's family team across the North West.

Lindsay said: "Brabners Chaffe Street is renowned for building strong long-term relationships with clients, which enables them to provide the most appropriate advice for each case.

"I will be able to bring my specific expertise into a dedicated, insightful team and help to grow our client base across the region."
