What can I do for you?

I’m a specialist family lawyer and joined Mills & Reeve in 2006 after studying at Cambridge University. I trained with Mills & Reeve for two years and qualified as a family solicitor in September 2008. My work involves advising on all issues which arise on relationship breakdown, including financial matters and arrangements for children. As part of one of the UK’s largest family teams, I have gained experience on a variety of matters relating to separation and divorce, financial matters and private law children cases.

Supporting my clients’ aims and objectives

Relationship breakdown is one of the most stressful periods an individual can find themselves in. My approach is client focused and I aim to provide creative and workable solutions to those issues affecting my clients. While I have experience of dealing with high value financial matters, I also provide cost-effective and focussed advice to those with more modest assets.

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 “becoming a truly national player for family matters” while “clients appreciate the team’s practical, problem-solving approach and suggest that this is one way in which Mills & Reeve differentiates itself from its competitors”.

What else should you know?

I am a member of Resolution, an organisation of family lawyers who are dedicated to dealing with cases in as amicable and constructive a way as possible. I am the membership development officer of Cambridge and West Suffolk Resolution and part of the group of organisers for Young Resolution in the region.

The team also has its own website www.divorce.co.uk, an invaluable tool for anyone going through family breakdown.
