2025 has proved to be another exceptional year for Lisa’s Law, with the firm achieving excellent results despite each area of the legal sector facing its own distinct challenges.
Throughout the year, our teams have continued to deliver high-quality, practical advice to clients across a wide range of matters, while adapting to regulatory change, market pressures and evolving client needs.
In this article, we take a brief look at some of the key achievements from each of our departments:
- Immigration
- Conveyancing
- Litigation
- Family and Private Client
Together, these highlights reflect the breadth of our expertise, the dedication of our staff and our continued commitment to putting clients at the heart of everything we do.
Conveyancing
- The team continues to expand at a rate of 20% compared to last year – we handled more than 2,000 cases with a total transaction value of near £1BN.
- Lisa’s Law Conveyancing is a strong team of more than 30 team members with a further addition of 5 new conveyancing solicitors in 2025 alone.
- The team provides full range of conveyancing services which includes freehold and leasehold properties, new build and second-hand transactions, sale, buy or equity transfer cases.
- The team expects to continue to expand at the same rate and endeavours to serve more clients in the new year.
We also added a free conveyancing quote tool to our website, streamlining the process for our clients. This allows clients to receive instant quotes for buying a property, selling a property, remortgaging, as well as transfer of equity.

My Comments
2025 has been a demanding year for anyone involved in UK immigration. We faced a host of immigration changes in July, which brought significant restrictions, including higher salary thresholds for Skilled Workers, bans on dependants for many lower-skilled roles, and the end of overseas recruitment for social care. On top of that, the November updates introduced tighter suitability checks that have made applications more rigorous.
We also spent much of the year guiding clients through the transition from physical BRP cards to e-Visas. This was a complicated switch for many, but our team worked hard to ensure nobody was left behind before the deadlines.
Despite these tougher rules, we have seen no drop in demand. We assisted with over 1,200 cases this year while maintaining an 85% success rate on appeals. What I am most proud of is that while the volume of work increased, our standards did not drop. Reaching 1,500 Google reviews with a 4.9 rating is a huge milestone for us. It shows that even when the law gets harder, our clients still feel supported.
We were also pleased to retain our Legal 500 ranking and the Client Satisfaction mark. This mark is only awarded to 10% of ranked firms, so holding onto it validates the hard work the team puts in every day.
Looking forward, 2026 looks set to be just as active. We are preparing for the full rollout of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme in February. We are also keeping a very close eye on reports regarding the settlement route potentially increasing from 5 to 10 years this April. Regardless of these announcements, we remain determined to help you understand the changes and find the best path forward.
Litigation
As 2025 draws to a close, Lisa’s Law Litigation Team — now comprising over 10 experienced members under the leadership of Frankie Ng, head of Litigation — reflects on a year marked by significant milestones across both civil litigation and criminal defence.
This year, our robust civil litigation practice delivered outstanding results for our clients. We achieved a series of favourable outcomes in complex tenancy and property disputes, including cases involving evictions, rent arrears, breaches of tenancy, transfers of ownership of property as a gift, and party-wall issues. We also successfully settled a trespass matter and a historical boundary dispute, achieving a favourable resolution for our client and partially recovering legal costs. Our deep expertise in this area continues to be a decisive advantage for our clients.
Beyond property law, we effectively represented clients in a diverse range of commercial disputes, including debt collection, insolvency actions, construction and employment issues. Whether securing a favourable judgment in court or negotiating an amicable settlement, our focus remained unwavering: to achieve the most beneficial outcome for our clients.
Our criminal defence practice experienced substantial growth and secured landmark victories in 2025. We successfully defended a client in a high-stakes serious sexual offence trial, resulting in a full acquittal. Our team also demonstrated its prowess in complex financial crime, successfully resisting forfeiture order applications in money-laundering cases. These successes, driven by our dedicated and experienced criminal practitioners, have cemented our reputation and led to a steady increase in instructions.
As we move into the new year, we remain committed to delivering strategic, pragmatic and client-focused litigation services across this broad spectrum of practice areas.
Family
Family & Private Client Department: 2025 End-of-Year Thoughts
In 2025, our Family & Private Client Department achieved a significant milestone by securing WIQS accreditation—a recognised standard of excellence in will-writing, estate planning, and probate services. This accomplishment underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional client care, technical expertise, and transparency.
As the year concludes, we are proud to highlight key achievements:
- Assisted with more than 90 new matters across divorce, financial settlements, child arrangements, and private client work.
- Managed a notable rise in high-value financial cases, including complex issues involving international assets and multi-jurisdictional trusts.
- Expanded our Private Client practice, drafting numerous wills and successfully administering probate matters.
- Achieved resolution by consent order in over 85% of eligible cases, saving clients significant time and costs.
One standout success was a highly complex financial remedy case involving international property portfolios, business interests, and trust structures. Through a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach, we secured a fair and forward-looking settlement that safeguarded our client’s financial stability while ensuring arrangements that supported children’s wellbeing across two jurisdictions. This case exemplifies our ability to handle high-stakes, emotionally charged matters with discretion, technical excellence, and a client-focused approach.
