Hollie Burnett
Hollie qualified as a solicitor in 2015 and joined Lake Legal in May 2017. She was promoted to Associate in May 2021.
Hollie specialises in medium to high net worth financial settlements, cohabitation disputes, domestic violence, pre and post-nuptial agreements and child related issues arising on separation and divorce.
When an agreement cannot be reached she also has extensive experience of court proceedings and supporting clients through that process. Clients appreciate her robust approach coupled with a sympathetic, understanding and approachable manner.
Hollie has been recognised in the last two editions of the Legal 500 and is described as “hardworking and thorough; a pleasure to work with and always efficient.” She is also acknowledged as becoming a recognised practitioner in financial remedy in the geographical area, with skills in “resolution whilst knowing when to litigate a case”.
Hollie previously sat as Vice Chair of the Young West and North Yorkshire Resolution for two years. Resolution is an organisation of family lawyers who promote a non-confrontational approach to family problems wherever possible.
Outside of work, Hollie enjoys travelling, walking in the countryside, spinning and spending time with her family and two French Bulldogs.
“I have a glass of champagne, takeout pizza and my gorgeous girls, I am truly happy!! Thank you for everything, you have put so much work and effort into this case, I appreciate everything you have done”
“Thank you for all of your help. You were not just efficient but also a lovely person to deal with, in what is one of the hardest times of my life”
“Thank you so much for all your hard work. Your advice and updates were always clear, considered and kind. That is a skill not many lawyers have, especially busy ones, so thank you”
“Thank you for being there to listen, I feel worthless, but know there is a brighter place for me! I hope I now find some peace and happiness in the future!”
“I would like to thank you and your team for all your hard work and your patience with me during this process”
“Just a quick note to say thanks for all your help. I’ll be sure to be in contact if anything arises in the future and will definitely pass your details on to anyone that asks me for matrimonial advice”
Hollie was an incredible help to me during a very stressful situation. She took the time to listen to me and communicate with me in a way that made me feel comfortable, even when I was trying to convey heavily detailed information.’
