LEHNA GARDINER

I am a Senior Associate at Rayden Solicitors, an award-winning Tier 1 specialist family law firm. Prior to joining Raydens in 2014, I worked at a Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners multi-service firm in central London from 2010.

I am based in St Albans, but have a broad client base including many clients who live and work in London. The fact that Raydens is based just outside London means that we are able to offer our clients a high end London-style service but at more cost-effective prices.

I have a wide experience of divorce, financial disputes and Children Act proceedings, including cases that have an international aspect. I am an accredited Resolution Specialist Family Lawyer in Complex Financial Remedies (high income households and substantial assets) and Cohabitation.

I combine my thorough knowledge of the law with an efficient and straightforward approach in order to achieve the best outcomes for my clients. I understand how it important it is that family disputes are resolved in the least confrontational way possible, and I always give practical advice to help my clients resolve the situation positively. 

I volunteer as an Honorary Advisor at the St Albans Citizens’ Advice Bureau.

As a keen runner, triathlete and duathlete, in 2019 I competed in Ironman UK. In 2020 I represented Team GBR in my age group at the European Duathlon Championships in Spain.

Client testimonials:

“I wanted to write you a personal thank you for everything you have done for my child and I. You have gone way over and above in supporting us through a very difficult time and I will be eternally grateful to you. You are a kind person and a credit to your profession”.

“I cannot thank you enough Lehna for all you personally did and the support you gave me, especially on some of the really difficult days. Without you I doubt I would have got through it all in one piece. You went beyond the call of duty, you are an extremely professional solicitor with compassion and a wonderful heart”.
