Position

Head of Department

My clients have included land owners, business owners, entrepreneurs, sportspeople, medics, lawyers, politicians and those in the arts and entertainment industry (actors, singers, producers), both in this country and abroad.

My practice incorporates both the financial consequences of separation and divorce – including cross-border issues and complex asset structures – and matters relating to children.  I also assist families with wealth protection structures including pre and postnuptial agreements and co-habitation agreements.

My clients appreciate an easy working relationship and value clear, strategic advice that carefully balances commercial realities with the needs of their families.  Divorce lawyers trust me to help their own colleagues, friends and families.

I am also Chair of Governors at Northbourne Park Preparatory School in Kent.

Career

I have advised clients in relation to family matters for more than twenty-five years, initially within leading family teams at Manches, Farrers and Speechly Bircham and latterly in my own specialist family law firm, Percival Rose & Co.

I spent time in the Court of Appeal as one of the first appointed judicial assistants which lead to a newly created post of Family Division Lawyer to assist the President of the Family Division with research and writing judgments and speeches.

I joined Child & Child as Head of Family Law in February 2023.
