Louisa Adamson

Louisa has specialised exclusively in family law work for over 25 years. She is known for her ability to work with her clients in a holistic and non-judgmental way and her ability to consider not only the legal issues of a case but also the emotional and practical issues that can shape her client’s decisions is particularly valued by her clients and their solicitors.

Louisa is recommended in both Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500. She is described as “sharp and on the ball” and, “in a difficult situation and with challenging cases, adopts just the right tone to get the job done,” (Legal 500 2020 guide), “straight-talking, astute and practical” (Legal 500 2017 Guide), “A natural at dealing with complex cases and clients” (Legal 500 2016 guide), “A great advocate with a practical approach” (Chambers and Partners 2018), “Really approachable. She is always able to give sensible advice in a way the client understands” (Chambers and Partners 2019), “She deals with acrimonious children cases with a sensible, practical, no-nonsense style.” (Chambers and Partners 2020)

Louisa’s focus is now on cases involving children, whether in the private or public law arena; although her 20 years’ experience of conducting financial provision cases stands her in good stead within her busy mediation practice. She is accredited by the Family Mediation Council to undertake mediations involving both finances and arrangements for children, and is able to conduct MIAM sessions and child-inclusive mediations.

Louisa provides her clients with clear, objective advice allowing them to make their decisions in full knowledge and understanding of the proceedings and their implications. At court, she will ensure that her client’s position is put appropriately and persuasively before the Judge.

Louisa is able to accept instructions through the Direct Public Access scheme.
