Toni Lorenzo

I specialise in advising clients on restrictive covenants, team moves, confidential information, high value breach of contract claims and arbitrations, as well as all aspects of employment law. Many of my clients are in the financial or professional services sectors. I also advise partnerships and LLPs on the specific duties owed by their partners and members as well as in relation to directors' duties. I have been described as "one of the best High Court litigators" in Legal 500 and "one of the best in the business at injunctive work – very few solicitors have greater experience than him and strategically he is great" in Chambers & Partners. As a fluent Spanish and Italian speaker, I work on multi-jurisdictional projects. I am also a Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) qualified mediator.

I am a Partner at Michelmores and head of the Disputed Wills & Estates team as well as head of the Charity Sector. I joined the Firm in 2002 and I am proud to be part of the success story that is Michelmores. I work with either private individuals or leading national charities, advising on a wide range of private client litigation matters. This involves acting for clients where there is a dispute in relation to a Will or a trust. I also act in contentious Court of Protection matters. Disputes regarding Wills arise in a number of circumstances for example where the testator’s mental capacity is being challenged or where there is an allegation of undue influence. I have developed a particular specialism in advising in claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. including a number of high profile and high value claims A further common area of law where I have acted on a number of matters is the doctrine of proprietary estoppel claim. I recognise that embarking on a dispute can be extremely challenging for my clients and like to develop a collegiate working relationship to achieve the best possible result. I thrive on developing and maintaining the relationships with clients during what is generally a stressful time. My role acting for a member of national charities primarily involves advising in a wide range of issues arising out of the legacies gifted in Wills. I am also an experienced mediator and have been mediating disputes for over 15 years. I have attended well over 100 mediations and enjoy bringing my pragmatic approach to helping people find resolutions to complex situations. I sit on the national committee for the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists.

Tony Meisels

Partner specialising in serious crime. Significant recent cases include R v Nicky Jacobs which concerned the murder of PC Keith Blakelock during the Broadwater Farm Riots in October 1985. In April 2014, Jacobs was acquitted after a trial in which the Crown primarily relied on the tainted evidence of three eye witnesses two of whom had confessed to their role in the murder but had been granted immunity from prosecution. This was the first and only prosecution for PC Blakelock’s murder since the freeing of the Tottenham 3 by the Court of Appeal in 1991. In another recent case a police witness liaison officer was successfully defended where she herself was accused of intimidation of a witness. A particular area of expertise is historic sex offences and child and extreme pornography cases. Higher rights advocate since 2006.
