Private Wealth
We support high net worth individuals and families, both in the UK and internationally, in identifying and then implementing the arrangements that best suit their individual needs.
Senior Associate
I have considerable experience in all areas of family law, and I have acted for a wide variety of clients both internationally and throughout the UK, but especially cases that require substantial client care. As well as family law, I have expertise in art and cultural property law, so I am particularly adept at dealing with high net worth divorces and dissolution of civil partnerships where knowledge of the art market is required.
My family practice includes a mix of financial remedies, private children law and modern families work. Dealing with domestic abuse and other trauma related issues in family cases is an integral part of my work. 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 2024 I was elected as Co-Chair of that committee.
I support Resolution’s constructive approach to family issues, while considering the needs of the whole family. My aim is to take a caring and empathetic approach whilst also protecting and promoting my client’s best interests.
My art and cultural property practice includes both a range of contentious and non-contentious matters for private clients. My areas of expertise include disputes involving attribution, provenance, title, authenticity, and illegally trafficked goods.
In 2021 I set up “PING”, the Next Generation arm of the Professional Advisors to the International Art Market (“PAIAM”), chairing the Committee until December 2023, when I was promoted to the main Board for the UK and Europe. In July 2024 I was appointed as Vice Chair of the PAIAM Board (UK and Europe).
