About

I have considerable experience in all areas of family law and I have acted for a wide variety of clients throughout the UK and abroad, but especially cases that require substantial client care. I also have expertise in art and cultural property law.

I specialise in divorce and dissolution of civil partnerships; complex financial issues associated with the breakdown of a relationship; matters relating to children, often with an international element, and nuptial agreements. My aim is to provide clear, sensible advice and take great care of my clients by pro-actively working through technical legal problems to achieve the best possible result.

I have written for The Times, The Observer, The Financial Times Advisor, and Spear's Magazine on topics of national interest relating to family law including cases concerning emotional abuse, with particular reference to gas lighting and coercive control. In 2022 I was appointed to Resolution’s Domestic Abuse Committee, to assist with its work on developing and promoting awareness of issues on all aspects of domestic abuse.

In addition to family law, I also have expertise in art and cultural property law. In 2022 I was appointed to the Professional Advisers to the International Art Market Board (PAIAM) Board (UK and European Chapter), and I am the chair of the organisation’s Next Generation Committee. I am also a member of Art Resolve, a group of professionals who promote the use of alternative dispute resolution in relation to art disputes, and an Academician Friend of the Royal Academy in London.
