Profile / Experience
I am a Solicitor and Director in the Family and Child Care Department.
Having qualified in 2008, I have worked in a number of areas of law at the beginning of my career before specialising in Family and Child Care law in 2011. I have extensive experience in public law children work, and I am a member of the Law Society's Children's Panel, which means that I am able to represent children, often through their Guardian, as well as parents in the court.
I supervise a team of solicitors and paralegals and represent a broad range of people who need legal help during one of the most challenging periods of their lives.
I aim to represent parties in a way that is as supportive as possible to try to achieve the best outcomes for children and parents.
I frequently undertake advocacy where appropriate in all of the above areas to provide consistency to clients and ensure their views are appropriately put before the court.
I undertake a pro bono clinic with the Citizens Advice Bureau in Richmond, which has allowed me to provide basic advice and assistance to many people who fall between the gap of being able to fund their legal matter privately and who do not qualify for legal aid.
I am a member of the Law Society's Family Panel specialising in financial matters.
I have experience in High Net Worth disputes involving assets based in England and Wales and in other countries, which can include complex financial structures.
In relation to child disputes, I frequently represent parents who are trying to reach an agreement on the care of the children following the parties' relationship breakdown or where there are issues of risk and child protection involved.
