Having practised in London with leading and innovative family law firms before relocating to Manchester, Fiona deals with matters for clients wherever they are based – whether in the North West, London or elsewhere in the UK and abroad.

Main practice areas include advising on wealth protection strategies, including pre and post nuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements; divorce and dissolution (including international issues), financial settlements for married and unmarried couples, children law and international relocation cases.

Fiona and the team at Weightmans provide a bespoke, tailor-made service for each individual client. Fiona offers a range of dispute resolution options as a trained mediator, collaborative lawyer and litigator and is recognised for providing strategic case management and a focused, realistic and discreet approach to clients.

Former clients include high net worth and high profile individuals, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals from across the globe.

In one matter on which Fiona was instructed, the Court of Appeal stated that they had “never seen a financial case of greater complexity”.

Fiona is an accredited member of the nationwide family law organisation Resolution and is Secretary of the Manchester Resolution Committee. She is a member of the Manchester Dispute Resolution Group and chairs/presents to a number of other professional groups.

She is a co-author of previous editions of Resolution’s Good Practice guidance and regularly writes for the national and local press.

North West > Private client > Family

The 2022 merger with RadcliffesLeBrasseur has strengthened Weightmans LLP‘s private client offering, making it a ‘go-to’ firm in the North West. Advising on the full range of family matters with close collaboration with the tax, trusts and probate, and international private wealth team, the group show notable expertise in financial remedy, surrogacy law, and digital and crypto currency cases. The department is spearheaded by the ‘outstanding’ Emma Collins, whose broad practice features areas of particular strength such as nuptial agreements and pension structures. Beyond her work as deputy district judge, Carole Atkinson is highly revered in the market for her excellence in on-shore and off-shore trust mandates, while Fiona Turner is ’emotionally intelligent’ during complex divorce and matrimonial finance cases, especially when they include business and cross-border assets. Fiona Davidson is principally noted for her acumen in children law, a growing area of the firm’s offering that has resulted in activity in highly sensitive child relocation cases. Rachel Lim continues to advise on a broad range of practice matters.
