Position
Fiona has many years’ experience as a family lawyer, specialising in all aspects of family law, particularly high-net-worth financial issues and children disputes. She has a versatile approach, not only to the range of family law issues, but also to the most appropriate methods of handling cases for her clients; from collaborative round the table scenarios to fully-contested litigation. To Fiona, the needs of each client and their desired outcomes are paramount. Each client receives honest and individual advice to help them make the right decisions. Fiona works closely with the client and, where necessary, a team of other professionals, including coaches, accountants, valuers, etc, to ensure that the client is fully prepared for the processes that they face.
