An award-winning family law firm and a financial planning firm have announced an 'industry first' collaboration.

Lowry Legal, which has offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Chester, and London, has announced a new partnership with Cheshire-based boutique financial planning firm, Ella Rose Financial.

The collaboration will offer 'high-net-worth' clients a combined service for legal and financial needs during separation and divorce.

The firms will provide advice to assist clients through the separation process and in succession planning.

Both firms work with clients across the UK.

Lowry Legal’s founder and managing partner, Katie McCann, said: "Our collaboration with Ella Rose Financial allows us to form a team around our high-net-worth clients, to give them everything they need during a challenging and stressful time in their lives.

"We believe it is possible to navigate all of the issues in a positive way and to come out of the process and thrive in the next chapter of your life.

"Law and financial services are both highly regulated industries, so it has taken time to get this right and put everything in place for this collaboration.

"Ella Rose Financial is the ideal partner for us as they share our values and vision, as well as being the stand-out experts in their field."

Ella Rose Financial’s founder and chartered financial planner, Ella Davies, said: "Our collaboration with Lowry Legal is something Katie and I have envisaged for years.

"We want to help clients get the most out of the process by bringing the two professional disciplines together, and now we have each launched our own firms, we have the freedom to put this in place."

Lowry Legal was described as ‘boutique in the absolute best sense of the word’ in the Legal 500 and Ella Rose Financial takes pride in it's 'national presence' and it's 'true, holistic financial advice.'
