Lynne
Burdon
After education at a Quaker school in North Yorkshire and a Maths degree at University College London, Lynne qualified as a solicitor in 1980. She specialised in commercial property work for more than 20 years, and is now the full time managing partner of Bolt Burdon Kemp. She takes her management training seriously and in 1998 obtained an MBA in Legal Practice from Nottingham Trent University with distinction. Lynne is a Master Practitioner of NLP and a qualified financial advisor.
Lynne says she is very proud of Bolt Burdon Kemp's reputation amongst our peers and competitors for being an innovative and well run firm. She believes that a happy workplace is essential in order to provide the highest levels of client service. Lynne is particularly proud of the very flexible working policy she designed to attract and retain the very best staff.
Lynne is very active in the local community, being a board member of Islington Chamber of Commerce (past president), The Islington Strategic Partnership and the Angel Town Centre Partnership. Lynne has a firm belief that we should all do our bit for charity, and under her leadership, Bolt Burdon Kemp raises funds for the NSPCC. Helping young people is important to Lynne - so much flows from being ready for the world of work; she is a director of Chance UK a local charity providing mentoring to disadvantaged primary school children. In 2005 Lynne was awarded the Mayor of Islington's Civic Award in recognition of her contribution to the community.
When not working Lynne enjoys time with her family. She loves horse riding in remote areas, skiing anywhere with snow and sailing where the sea is warm - holidays are important! Since a team from the office ran the New York marathon in 2006 (Lynne came 36,562th) she continues to run several times a week and is looking forward to leading a team of 15 runners to Florence in November 2009.
