Profile
of SIMON LILLINGTON
CALL 1981
Simon Lillington was called to the Bar in
1981 and initially pursued an academic career
lecturing in Company, Partnership and Commercial
law at the University in Cyprus from 1981-1984.
On his return to the UK Simon took his LLM
at University College London in Shipping
and Company law and then joined the Bournemouth
University in 1985 where he was appointed
Director of Studies, initially for the Business
Studies degree and then for the Business
Law degree. In 1987 Simon took a sabbatical
from the University for 6 months and spent
that time at the Shipping Bar at 4 Essex
Court in the Temple enjoying a very small
brief in the Inquiry into the sinking of
the Herald of Free Enterprise and at the
same time commenced his research at Southampton
University into the maritime law of piracy.
Simon then accepted an offer of a tenancy
at 10 Gray's Inn Square and thereafter combined
his academic work at the University with
his research and work as a barrister until
leaving the University in 1992 to concentrate
solely on his practice.
Simon joined 18 Carlton Crescent in 2000
having previously practiced from Baroness
Scotland QC's chambers at 1 Gray's Inn Square
where he was Treasurer until the merger
between that set and Gray's Inn Chambers
to form Renaissance Chambers. Simon retains
an Associate Tenancy at Renaissance Chambers
in Gray's Inn. Simon's principle principal
area of practice is family law specializing
in: ancillary relief including high value
and complex cases; Trusts of Land &
Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 claims;
cohabitation disputes; occupation orders
and domestic violence. Simon will also consider
taking on private law Children Act cases.
Simon’s background in commercial law
makes him an ideal counsel for those ancillary
relief cases with a business element.
