Lucy continues to be ranked as a first tier silk by Chambers & Partners, which this year described her as “at the top of her game” combining “excellent intellect with effective communication skills”. The Legal 500 described her as “a force to be reckoned with”.
In silk now for 10 years, she has an enviable practice, acting in the most complex financial matters for high net worth individuals from all walks of life, including a plethora of celebrities in the sports and entertainment industries. She regularly advises on and drafts nuptial agreements.
In 2011, she was called to the Hong Kong Bar, and appeared successfully in a leading case in the Court of Appeal in Hong Kong. In 2012, she was licensed to appear before the Staff of Government Division in the Isle of Man.
Over the years she had been reported to inspire “laudatory comment for her “meticulous preparation, pragmatism and accessibility to clients”” and has been described as “pretension-free, very sensible, kind and sympathetic.”
Lucy is consistently praised for her meticulous attention to detail, thorough preparation and realistic advice; and for her approachability to the professional and lay client alike.
“'Lucy-no-Stone-left-unturned,' as she is known, is one of the best-prepared advocates at the Bar. Those instructing her have complete faith in the fact that "she'll always be up to speed and have the clients eating out of her hand." Furthermore, she cuts to the chase admirably: "Stone extracts information in five minutes that others would take half an hour to get."”
“Once in court she impresses with her "punchy, incisive advocacy"."
