Lindsey Love-Forrester is a partner at Lerners LLP. Her practice focuses exclusively on family law, representing and advising clients on all issues related to divorce, custody and access, spousal and child support, and division of property, including the negotiation and preparation of complex financial agreements and settlements.
Lindsey started her practice in corporate commercial litigation at a top-tier multi-national law firm and has since developed a family law practice in which she has a specialized focus on the financial issues arising out of separation and divorce matters including complex corporate transactions, structures and family trusts.

Since that day – Lindsey has been “in court” for a dozen attendances, several motions, examinations, a two-week trial, and a full-day hearing in the Court of Appeal – but what she has not done, like all of you, is physically set foot in a courtroom since she left 393 University that day.
