Antonia is a trainee solicitor based in our London Office. She is due to qualify as a solicitor in February 2025. Prior to commencing her training contract with Expatriate Law, Antonia worked as a paralegal at the firm and so has extensive family law experience.
Antonia has worked with all senior members of the team during the course of her training contract, but predominantly assists Hero Lomas on a wide range of matters including:
- Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
- Complex and high-net-worth financial remedy proceedings (often involving an international element)
- Divorce jurisdiction / forum disputes
- Urgent injunctions, and interim applications
- Schedule 1 claims
- Enforcement proceedings
- Children proceedings (abduction, relocation, child arrangement orders)
- Part III MFPA 1984 proceedings (financial relief following a foreign divorce)
Antonia has a wealth of experience working for international and high-net-worth individuals, having trained exclusively in family law. Antonia is especially experienced in cases where parties are in hotly contested muti-jurisdictional litigation regarding the choice of country for divorce. She has an acute attention to detail and often assists in cases where parties’ finances are held in complex international structures. Antonia is empathic but firm and aims to help her clients get through what is often an incredibly taxing, emotional period of their lives as efficiently as possible.
