Meet the Wollen Michelmore Dartmouth Family Team D
isputes involving family issues are a very sensitive area and require the utmost sensitivity and specialist expertise when
being handled. That is where the award-winning Wollen Michel-
more Dartmouth family team come in. Specialist family lawyers can offer advice and sup-
port with any relationship or child-related dispute. In 2017 the team was officially recognised
nationally at the Solicitors Journal Awards in London for being among the best in the legal profession for their specialist children work, advising parents and others in conflict as well as cases involving social services.
People make decisions in their life – be it over the
start of a new relationship or the painful choice to leave one behind – and they have consequences.
The Wollen Michelmore family team endeavour
to make sure they achieve the best outcomes for their clients and provide clear advice and care that can help them get through those consequences and life’s ups and downs.
The department is headed by Rebecca Procter. A
matrimonial lawyer, Rebecca focuses on high value finance cases and assists with pension sharing and business issues within a relationship breakdown. She is a trained mediator and collaborative lawyer.
In September 2018 the firm employed Ellie
Lorimer, a former London solicitor to be the lead family solicitor in the Dartmouth office located on The Quay.
Ellie Lorimer’s specialist field is in resolving financial issues that arise for divorcing parties including the impact on inherited wealth. She also advises couples how to reach and record agreements with post-nuptial agreements.
Ellie also advises on property and financial issues Wollen Michelmore LLP is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority - SRA No 565599 Family Disputes Business Property

which may arise following the breakdown of unmar- ried relationships.
Ellie said upon joining the firm; “Wollen
Michelmore’s excellent local reputation and independent recognition, particularly its 2016 award for client service of the year, were hugely attractive to me. Having spoken to various family professionals in the South West, the overwhelming consensus was that Wollen Michelmore is a firm with a skilled family department whose technical expertise is second to none; something that is hugely important to me in furthering my own career.”
Rebecca Procter, Partner and head of Wollen
Michelmore’s family team said: “We are delighted to have Ellie on board. She brings with her a wealth of experience in not only matrimonial finances but also niche areas of family law practice such as transgender issues, fertility and surrogacy law. She will be extending our family service within Dartmouth and the surround- ing areas, as well as beyond.”
Ellie, who grew up in Devon, says she is delighted
to be returning to the Westcountry; “dog walks on Dartmoor and family bike rides along the coast still feel a complete novelty compared with London life, and I’m particularly looking forward to lots of trips to Bantham Beach to work on my (mediocre) surf skills.”
