Our Leicester Family Team Has Been Strengthened With Senior Associate Hire 

We have strengthened our Leicester family team with the appointment of specialist family lawyer Sam Mason as a senior associate.

With more than eight years’ experience in divorce, financial remedy and children matters, Sam has joined the firm from Geldards, where he represented clients in complex high-net-worth financial remedy cases involving businesses, investments, pensions, trusts, assets abroad and other significant assets.

He is also a skilled advocate, often representing clients in court, and has specific expertise in international financial remedies, working with individuals who own assets overseas and where jurisdictional issues are featured.

Sam said: “Shakespeare Martineau’s clear commitment to handling sensitive matters with care and professionalism, combined with the opportunity to work alongside some of the best legal professionals in the field, was a key factor in my decision to join the firm.

“I find it deeply rewarding to guide clients through complex financial and emotional challenges by providing tailored, strategic advice – particularly in cases involving intricate asset structures and businesses – while building lasting relationships as a trusted advisor.”

“My aim is to bring a blend of technical expertise in financial remedy and children matters, a calm and client-focused approach, and a strong commitment to non-court dispute resolution methods, while contributing to Shakespeare Martineau’s collaborative, cross-departmental work, and enhancing its offering for clients with complex, business and international assets.”

Katherine Marshall, family partner, added: “It is a pleasure to welcome Sam into the team. His expertise in a range of complex issues, combined with his compassionate touch, makes him a great fit for our team. Sam’s collaborative and innovative approach aligns perfectly with our values, and I look forward to seeing him thrive with us.”
