About

I am a family law specialist dealing with all aspects of family law including issues relating to financial matters, jurisdiction and children.

I believe that fundamental to all family cases is the strategy that is adopted at the earliest opportunity.

Each family is different and each family’s circumstances need a tailored approach, whether that is dealing with matters with the court’s assistance and adopting the court timetable, or endeavouring to negotiate the best outcome for my clients in light of ongoing family relationships.

I am unfazed by complicated trust structures or corporate entities. I feel as at home with the financial complexities as I do with trying to arrange safe and fulfilling relationships for children with both their parents, wherever possible.

I am a member of the International Academy of Family Lawyers and a recognised specialist.

I also deal with complex family affairs in my work in connection with claims under the Inheritance Act 1975 and in Contested Probate cases.

I am a trained family (and civil and commercial) Mediator. I am a Collaborative Lawyer and, unusually, I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist having trained with the Tavistock and specialise in working with couples. These skills allow me to tailor my approach to the individual client with whom I am working, and against the background of their family dynamics, both financial and personal.

For every family, there must be a solution. My role is to help the client, through whichever process is adopted, to reach that solution with as little trauma and delay as possible.
