What can I do for you?

I am a family lawyer with a wide range of experience. I advise on all issues that arise on relationship breakdown, with the main focus being financial settlements and arrangements for children. I specialise in advising on the treatment of more complex finances, including businesses, trusts and pensions. My clients include successful professionals and their partners.

Supporting my clients’ aims and objectives

You can expect me to listen to you and to deal with your matter professionally, while remaining sensitive to your particular needs. My aim is always to resolve cases as amicably and cost effectively as possible. I am focussed on achieving what is best for my clients and their children, within the circumstances of their particular case. I always take care to ensure that I offer the best possible service.
