About me
Having practised for almost two decades, I’m a family lawyer who offers the legal expertise people need to steer them through important stages in their lives.
Regarded as a leader in this field, I specialise in complex divorce cases involving family trusts, businesses or international considerations such as foreign assets.
People often turn to me when they need wealth protection services, as I’m highly experienced in putting together pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and cohabitation agreements and I regularly represent clients in divorces where such agreements are a factor.
I always aim to resolve disputes amicably outside of court where possible. I’m a trained collaborative law practitioner and lead our One Couple One Lawyer offering, which enables us to advise both members of a couple following a separation. I also act as a neutral judge in private hearings.
My clients include business owners, entrepreneurs, sportspeople, professionals and wealthy families. I build strong relationships, making sure to explain everything clearly, tailor my approach to an individual’s needs and support them at every stage. I’m proud that I’ve cultivated a reputation for looking after my clients and that they often recommend me to others.
Giving back is a priority for me - I often work with social mobility charities and on LGBTQ+ initiatives.
