Career

I am a Partner and Head of the Family team. My expertise is in:

  • divorce, separation and relationship breakdown;
  • financial and property claims;
  • children; and
  • collaborative law.

As a member of Resolution I deal with all aspects of family law, specialising in divorce cases involving owner managed businesses, complex facts and/or high net worth individuals nationally and with an international element. I am also collaboratively trained.

I have a well established and successful practice in dealing with divorce cases involving very high value assets, companies, leaders in business, farms and equestrian centres, public figures, international sports personalities, media personalities and leading medical professionals.

I am recognised in the Best Lawyers UK 2023 edition (and indeed have been since 2009) for Family Law.

I am also listed as a Leading Lawyer by Wiselaw
