What can I do for you?
I am a senior solicitor who has specialised in family law since 2005. My work encompasses every aspect of family and relationship breakdown and includes dealing with the financial issues arising out of divorce and separation, private Children Act proceedings and cohabitation disputes as well as advising on wealth protection measures.
I have a particular interest in large asset and complex financial cases involving farms and trusts and have been instructed on matters as diverse as disputes with the Child Support Agency and domestic violence injunctions through to the enforcement of court orders and preventing the removal of assets out of England and Wales.
Supporting my clients’ objectives
Recognising that no two clients’ cases are the same, I aim to provide clear, pragmatic advice tailored to suit the individual circumstances and wishes of each of my clients. Whether resolution is brought about using mediation, solicitor-led negotiation or with the involvement of the court, I work with clients to find a fair and cost effective solution.
What do others say?
We are very proud of our family team at Mills & Reeve and were delighted when, at the Legal Business Awards, we won Private Client Team of the Year 2009.
Chambers UK describes us as “becoming a truly national player for family matters” and states that our clients “appreciate the team’s practical, problem-solving approach”.
On a personal level, some of my clients have said:
“I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help with the divorce; you really helped me through what was a tough time and were a great support to me and didn’t get fed up with my incessant and probably ridiculous questions.”
“I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your work and for your extreme patience with me. You have been very understanding. I have really appreciated your advice.”
“Many thanks to you for the sound advice, prompt attention and support you offered during this difficult time; the whole process was handled very professionally and went as smooth as I could have hoped.”
What else should you know?
I am a member of Resolution, an organisation committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes.
As a national team, we run the website www.divorce.co.uk, which provides free advice to individuals on all aspects of relationship breakdown.
