Donovan Lindsay Celebrates 40 Years at Anthony Gold and is Elected President of South London Law Society

Anthony Gold is pleased to mark Partner Donovan Lindsay’s 40^th anniversary with the firm and celebrate his election as President of the South London Law Society.

Donovan first joined Anthony Gold in 1982 from school as an outdoor clerk for the firm, he then went on to work mainly with the firm’s criminal law department, later retraining in family law. Obtaining a legal qualification as a Chartered Legal Executive positioned Donovan well when he moved to Court of Protection – his current specialism.

With over 25 years of experience, Donovan’s work involves managing financial affairs for vulnerable adults and children who are no longer able to manage their affairs due to lack of capacity. He predominately helps vulnerable elderly clients who suffer from dementia, and people who have been awarded damages as a result of a personal injury claim. Donovan maintains a strong reputation for supporting vulnerable clients and is recognised as one of the leading elderly client practitioners in this field.

On Donovan’s time here at Anthony Gold Managing Partner, David Marshall, said: “I think that Donovan’s career is a great example. He has worked hard, studied hard, been flexible to change, and is hugely popular both inside and outside of the firm. We are all very proud of what Donovan has achieved, especially making Partner last year.”

In June 2022, Donovan was elected as President of the South London Law Society, after being a member of its committee for the past eight years and its Vice-President for 3 years. As a result, he has been invited to take part in and host a number of discussions including a Black Lives Matter debate which was organised through the London South Bank University. Panellists included Imran Khan QC and Stephanie Boyce (the first Black President of the Law Society of England and Wales). Throughout the years, Donovan has continued to provide mentoring to undergraduate students at London South Bank University, recognising the importance of making a personal investment into the next generation of lawyers. His story of hard work and progression is inspirational.
