Areas of Expertise
Our Service
I advise clients on a broad range of private family law matters, including: the financial implications of all types of relationship breakdowns; pre- and post-nuptial and civil partnership agreements; and matters relating to arrangements for children.
My work is generally focussed on financial disputes upon divorce/civil partnership dissolution, which often involve complex corporate structures, trust interests and/or overseas assets. I have worked on highly contested cases in the High Court and Central Family Court, nevertheless I am committed to first trying to reach amicable and cost-efficient settlements through negotiation, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution where appropriate.
I am a member of ConTrA (the Contentious Trusts Association), Resolution and LeGal BesT.
I am dedicated to improving inclusion and diversity in the legal profession and mentor university students who are embarking on a career in law.
