Career
Qualified – 2005
Katie specialises in all aspects of family law, but with a particular interest in high net worth divorce, private children matters and wealth protection, including pre and post-nuptial agreements and cohabitation agreements for couples living together. She has a particular interest in acting for sports and media personalities, business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs.
Clients describe her as being a down to earth and no nonsense lawyer. Her number one aim with every client is to guide them through their legal journey and separation as smoothly as she can, being both sensitive to their needs, but being pragmatic and realistic at the same time.
Katie is the managing partner of specialist family law firm Lowry Legal, a trading name of Excello Law.
Education
Called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2009.
Leisure
Katie likes to take on a challenge! She has recently danced the Paso Doble in a charity Strictly Come Dancing competition and covered 70km in a weekend for a charity duathlon. Her passion lies in pushing her boundaries and challenging herself to achieve things that seem impossible.
