I am authorised to accept instructions directly from members of the public, without the need go through a solicitor and am willing to discuss such cases on request.I have extensive experience in public and private children cases, acting for local authorities and parents. I have experience acting at all interlocutory stages, and at lengthy contested final hearings. Within public proceedings, I have acted in cases involving alleged serious non-accidental injuries with extensive medical disclosure. I have a keen interest in court of protection (health and welfare) work. I have been instructed in DoLS challenges, and best interest decision making.I regularly accept instructions from local authorities, parents, and the Official Solicitor. My work in both the family and Court of Protection jurisdictions complement each other. I have experience in representing people with severe mental health difficulties, and have been described by solicitors as ‘going above and beyond what is expected of counsel’. I have acted in several public children cases where an application has been made to authorise the depravation of a child’s liberty. I was recently instructed in a final hearing in the High Court following an application for wardship made under the inherent jurisdiction, in which there were concurrent proceedings in the Court of Protection; the matters arose out of the peculiar family circumstances as a result of mother’s mental health difficulties.I accept instructions in cohabitation disputes. My experience in property litigation prior to coming to the Bar, coupled with my family work, puts me well placed to deal with such matters. I maintain a paper practice in all of these areas and I am happy to settle pleadings, or give advice on short notice. Show less
