Divorce and Family

Position

Jennifer specialises in legal issues arising from the breakdown of a relationship. Her practice encompasses financial remedy claims (both for married couples and unmarried parents), disputes about how children should spend their time, relocation cases and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Many of her cases have an international dimension or involve trust interests or complex corporate structures, and clients come from many walks of life – often they are high-net worth individuals and sometimes in the public eye, wishing to stay out of it.

She works with clients sensitively and pragmatically to reach a settlement swiftly and amicably. In some cases, court proceedings may be unavoidable, in which case Jennifer will litigate to achieve the best outcome for her client.

Jennifer has been involved in supporting clients on a number of high profile cases – she worked with Diana Parker in advising hedge fund manager, Sir Chris Hohn, on the biggest divorce in the English courts, successfully protecting his business from division and defending his wife’s claim for 50% of the assets. The judge also agreed with Sir Chris that there should be certain reporting restrictions protecting financial and personal information (Cooper-Hohn v Hohn [2014] EWCA Civ 896).
