I am a very senior and highly regarded family lawyer having specialised in family law for over 35 years. I am known for my pragmatic and constructive style and my strategic vision. I work predominantly in private children and divorce cases but my practice encompasses surrogacy, pre and post-nuptial agreements and has a significant international component. I believe passionately in containing family disputes where possible and finding an early resolution to avoid the lawyers being the winners!I am an accredited member of the Family Law Society Family Law Panel, a trained collaborative lawyer, and have been a Fellow of the International Academy of Family Lawyers for over 20 years.I am regularly referred work by senior judges and senior members of the Family Law bar because of my very wide experience and depth of knowledge of the law, as well as an innovative and inventive mind to deal with unusual and problematic cases.I am a skilled specialist in all aspects of financial claims on relationship breakdown and private law children matters, including surrogacy. I lecture at legal seminars and am a contributor to legal journals. I am the family law contributor to Halsbury’s Law Exchange. I have been recommended in the directories for over 25 years and over that period the various law directories and other publications have described me as “firm but fair”, “very bright”, and that there is “no-one who knows more about big money financial claims”. Legal Business called me “tough as old boots, but only rarely, mainly she is charming” in their 1994 article on the top 12 divorce lawyers in London.
Listed skills include Dispute Resolution, Litigation, Legal Advice, Family Law, and 15 others.
