Karen Holden
Karen is the founding partner of A City Law Firm LLP. Having obtained her degree in Law, Karen went on to achieve a Master’s Degree from the University of Cambridge and her LPC from the College of Law. Her studies were conducted whilst working full-time as a Senior member of management.
Karen established the firm in order to provide experienced and talented solicitors in the City of London. Having worked for large target based commercial law firms she wanted to offer a place where individuals and companies could obtain sound legal advice and develop a relationship with her firm that it trusted and relied upon.
Karen specialises in commercial law such as start-up businesses, employment law and litigation. She has worked on a number of high net worth, complex matters including cross border debt recovery matters and claims; commercial and property disputes and a number of dismissal and discrimination and harassment cases involving sexual orientation, HIV disability and gender. Karen has also recent experience in franchise agreements and compromise agreements.
Karen also has a wealth of experience addressing LGBT matters, some of which have been particularly harrowing. As a result she strives to enhance the legal resources available to the community and help support members find an equal footing. The firm sponsors a number of organisations and people who drive the community forward and this is specifically driven by Karen who challenges all forms of discrimination, harassment or unfair treatment . She strongly supports educating and helping people understand and develop an awareness in these areas.
