Delivering tailored legal solutions

When principal, Lisa Cameron, was younger she wanted to join the police force, but instead she developed an interest in the law and she loved it.

“I studied hard and was a mum to two young children, but the law fascinated me, and somehow I managed to successfully juggle my home life and University as a mature student.”

Not afraid of a challenge, Lisa worked in her own consulting business and part-time in a local law office whilst studying. She then obtained valuable experience before establishing her own law firm, Thompson Smyth Barristers & Solicitors.

Lisa’s down to earth and practical approach to the law allows her to help clients navigate the sometimes stressful and complex issues they may be faced with at different stages of their lives.
