I help individuals make sense of complex and emotionally charged family issues, offering clear, empathetic advice at what is often one of the most difficult times in their lives. Whether dealing with divorce, separation, or planning for the future, I work alongside my clients to protect what matters most - their family, finances, and peace of mind.

With over 20 years' experience as a family lawyer - including at Charles Russell Speechlys before becoming a consultant in 2023 - I offer pragmatic and strategic support across all aspects of family law, including:

 • Financial arrangements on divorce - specialising in high-value and complex cases, through both court proceedings and out-of-court resolutions

• Arrangements for children - advising both married and unmarried parents, including where relocation is proposed

• Relationship planning - drafting and advising on:

Pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements

• Cohabitation agreements

I am a strong advocate for resolving matters outside the court process where appropriate, guiding clients through alternative dispute resolution options such as mediation, private FDRs, and arbitration. These approaches are often quicker, less adversarial, and more cost-effective than court, though I am equally experienced and confident in litigation when needed.  I am robust in negotiations and proceedings when the situation requires that approach.

My clients describe me as down-to-earth, empathetic, and clear. I believe family law should be accessible, not intimidating. I take pride in helping people understand their options, feel supported throughout the process, and make informed decisions about their future.
