Oswestry lawyer recognised for divorce work
A young family lawyer who qualified at the unusually young age of 23 has been promoted to Senior Solicitor at the Oswestry practice where she completed her training.
Alison Monaghan joined GHP Legal in their Willow Street offices in 2004 on a two year training contract and became a fully qualified solicitor in 2006.
A former head girl of Holywell High School, Alison realised a long time dream to study law when she won a scholarship to University of Wales Aberystwyth. After graduating with an Honours degree she went on to Cardiff School of Law before completing her training at GHP Legal.
After becoming a Solicitor Alison specialised in matrimonial law and undertook additional training in separating couples and children matters, she is also a member of Resolution, a specialist group of just 5000 lawyers in the UK who are family law experts with experience in resolving family disputes in the constructive and cost-effective way of out-of-court negotiations.
Congratulating Alison on her promotion to Senior Solicitor, head of department John Lancaster said: “To gain recognition for her achievements at such a young age is testament to Alison’s passion for the job, her keenness to learn and her natural ability to communicate with her clients. Alison’s achievement is even more commendable because she is working within one of the largest family law teams in Shropshire, North and Mid Wales and the North West.”
