The London Solicitors Litigation Association (LSLA), is celebrating two milestones with the election of its first woman president and its 60th anniversary.

Francesca Kaye, litigation partner at Russell-Cooke LLP, has been elected as president. She has been in practice for 21 years and is a commercial mediator, becoming a deputy district judge in 2003. Francesca will serve a two-year term in office. She has taken over from Seamus Smyth.

As well as hosting LSLA’s spring and autumn lecture series and its annual dinner, her first year will also be marked by a bumper 60th birthday party for members and guests in June.
