About
Lotus Horizon was established in London, 2026. Kirsty and Jess have over 30 years combined experience conducting family law matters representing the best interests of babies, children and teenagers as well as mothers, fathers and grandparents.
Our unique trauma-informed approach has developed over time from our proven experiences and regular training. Dedicated client-care is at the heart of everything we do and we believe contributes significantly to the best possible outcomes for all parties involved.
From our bases in Barnet and Croydon we have excellent coverage of London and the surrounding areas. We have worked closely together for nearly a decade and guided thousands of people to their new horizon.
