What can I do for you?
I am responsible for supporting the work of the family and matrimonial lawyers. As well as providing in-house training to our team of over 30 lawyers, ensuring that their knowledge and skills are up to date, I work with other team members to provide internal and external briefings on legal developments.
I also ensure that my team’s bank of precedents is kept up to date and relevant and am responsible for making sure that our vast wealth of experience and knowledge in family law is utilised for our clients’ benefit.
Supporting our clients
We think it’s vital to share the knowledge developed by our professional support lawyers with our clients and their advisers. My work includes editing our quarterly family law publication, Family Matters, producing briefings, guidance and articles aimed at our clients and the other professionals with whom we work (many of which are available on our family law website www.divorce.co.uk). I am also actively involved in our seminar programme and “behind the scene” tasks such as developing and enhancing our online resources and researching tricky legal problems that can “make or break” a case.
I trained and qualified as a solicitor with Mills & Reeve and am able to draw on over five years worth of practical family law experience to help ensure we deliver the best possible service to our clients.
What do others say about my team?
We are very proud of our family law 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 “being a national leader” in family law and states that “the firm’s private client group is fast becoming one of the largest and most highly respected in the UK”.
What else should you know?
I am a member of Resolution, an organisation committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes.
As a national family law team, we run the website www.divorce.co.uk, which provides free advice to individuals on all aspects of relationship breakdown.
