Since joining the Bar, Ulrike has represented clients at all stages of the litigation process, including FDAs, FDRs, FHDRAs, DRAs, final hearings and enforcement hearings.  Recently, Ulrike acted as junior counsel in a three-week fact-finding hearing at the High Court where she, together with Julia Gasparro, represented the intervenor in care proceedings.

Ulrike has been described by instructing solicitors as a “very knowledgeable and professional advocate who truly cares about her clients”.

Examples of recent cases are:-

D v D
Financial remedy proceedings. Ulrike represented the Wife in a complex financial remedies matter containing allegations of financial misconduct and litigation misconduct, as well as arguments as to whether the Wife’s reliance on a letter intended for the Husband amounted to a strict breach of confidence pursuant to Tchenguiz and Ors v Imerman [2010] EWCA Civ 908.

M v M 
Financial remedy proceedings. This case involved a number of foreign properties held under a trust for the benefit of W and her siblings, as well as a number of UK properties. Ulrike represented the Husband at the FDA and FDR where a settlement was achieved.

W v O
