What can I do for you?
I am a specialist family lawyer dealing in many aspects of marriage and relationship breakdown, especially the financial consequences to the family. I have particular expertise in cases with an international element, more particularly cases involving children. My practice extends to advising clients on the protection of wealth through pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements. What has been most rewarding for me in my practice has been dealing with multi-jurisdictional children disputes, this involved working with lawyers in different countries to achieve a favourable result for our mutual clients. This firm’s strong links with lawyers in other countries greatly assist our clients in achieving a successful outcome.
Supporting my clients’ objectives
A relationship breakdown is rarely easy for the parties and their families. It is therefore essential that they are sensitively guided through the process and provided with the best legal advice to achieve the best possible outcome. Most cases involve tax issues, inheritance issues, and perhaps business assets. At this firm we have specialists in all these areas to ensure that our client’s objectives are supported.
What do others say?
We are very proud of our family team at Mills & Reeve and were delighted when this was recognised at the Legal Business Awards, where we won Private Client Team of the Year 2009. We pride ourselves on giving excellent clear advice tailored to the individual needs of our clients. In addition, Chambers UK describes us as having “established itself as a national player in family work”.
I was described in Chambers UK as the “rising star of the team” and according to commentators “she genuinely cares about your situation and circumstances – and she always goes the extra mile”. I am referred work by other professions who know that I will provide the high level of service that their client’s expect.
What else should you know?
I am a member of Resolution, an organisation committed to dealing with family disputes in the best way possible. I have lectured for West Midlands Young Resolution and provide seminars to other professionals. I am a trained collaborative lawyer, this confirms my commitment to resolving issues in a way that is best for the family.
