MARK BETTERIDGE
Managing Director

Originally from a background in farming in rural Wales, Mark qualified as a solicitor in London in 1989. There he gained a wealth of knowledge, mainly in the High Court, but he then decided to start his own niche family law firm in his home town of Hertford, north of London. He believed that it was time to offer clients further afield from the city that same, high class service but at a more competitive rate. Mark was also one of the first lawyers handling divorce to take a sensitive, empathetic approach to divorce cases and has helped to shape the industry for the better.
Starting with one secretary and a telephone, Mark always believed in getting to know his clients, whether it was face to face, over the phone or even over the internet. He now runs a busy office alongside his wife and Co-Director, Lindsey. Together they believe that their bespoke, straight-talking approach is where the company differs from other solicitors who may not have that same touch with their clients. They are a niche business who care and pride themselves on having the time to really talk and help their clients. Mark is also a member of Resolution.
Lindsey Betteridge
Co-Director

Lindsey considers it a great privilege to listen to people who are often going through a difficult time, allowing them to express their concerns and anxieties. She is ever mindful that for a client, the first step in approaching a solicitor can be the most daunting – a fact appreciated by all staff.
Lindsey deals with new enquiries, outlining the ways in which we can assist and contacting the relevant legal expert within the firm to provide further advice.
