Michelle Uppal is an accomplished matrimonial solicitor, mediator, and collaborative lawyer with extensive expertise in divorce law, romantic contracts; pre nups, relocation/ child arrangements, and post-separation finances.

Michelle has almost 25 years’ experience assisting separating couples with a particular history of handling cases where high-net-worth assets and cross-jurisdictional concerns are involved.

As a collaborative lawyer and accredited mediator, Michelle’s modus operandi is to use alternative methods of dispute resolution and to look at a family more holistically to avoid court proceedings and achieve a fair and equitable settlement for both parties. As a litigator she is just as tenacious in the court room as she is around the negotiating table.

Michelle is a Partner at Lowry Legal and advises across the whole spectrum of divorce and relationship breakdown, including on financial assets, emergency applications and enforcement orders, spousal maintenance, and re-opening historic settlements. Her cases often have complex, international dimensions, including trusts and off shore assets. Michelle also advises on negotiating pre- and post-nupital agreements, using collaborative methods to do so.

Michelle is recommended by The Legal 500 2025 guide as a Leading Partner and a Leading Mediator. They write that Michelle is a “calm, empathetic and knowledgeable … she is kind to clients and cares for them, but always gives it to them straight. She is wise and far-seeing – clients like her and will travel with her.”

She is highly regarded by her clients as a pragmatic and professional lawyer and her perceptiveness and compassion is central to her guiding aim of equipping clients to have healthy future relationships, whether through improving co-parenting or divorcing with dignity.
