Jonathan Lea Network Welcomes Three New Consultant Solicitors
We are delighted to announce the addition of three exceptional consultant solicitors to Jonathan Lea Network – Catherine, Carol and Tae – each bringing remarkable depth of expertise and expanding both the reach and capability of our practice.
Their arrival strengthens our ability to help more people across a wider range of specialist areas, while reinforcing our unique position as a Haywards Heath-based firm with a global outlook.
Catherine joins us as a dual-qualified Solicitor of England & Wales and French Avocat, advising private clients, family offices and international businesses on cross-border tax, estate and employment matters. With extensive experience handling complex UK–France–Monaco succession issues, multilingual capabilities and a strong track record managing high-value international estates, she enhances our growing private client offering for those with European and multi-jurisdictional interests.
Carol, a highly regarded family solicitor and Legal 500-recognised expert, specialises in domestic abuse and private children law. A qualified IDVA and passionate educator, she brings deep insight and compassion to her work — supporting clients through sensitive proceedings and protective applications while championing survivor-focused legal understanding through her VOICE programme and “Survivor Diaries” project.
Tae broadens our commercial, property, immigration and litigation capability. With significant experience advising national retail chains, managing extensive property portfolios and supporting clients within the UK’s Korean business community, he offers commercially pragmatic, culturally informed guidance across a diverse range of matters.
Together, Catherine, Carol and Tae enrich our team and reinforce what defines Jonathan Lea Network: a depth and breadth of legal expertise delivered through a collaborative, responsive and personable approach. Their arrival enables us to support more clients across more practice areas in the UK and beyond while staying true to our values, being client-centred, commercially astute and consistently innovative.
