Sally Smith Email & Phone Number

Since qualifying as a solicitor in 1994, I have specialised exclusively in Family Law and all issues arising on divorce or relationship breakdown, including the resolution of issues relating to children and finances. I have particular interest in dealing with complicated financial issues where businesses, shareholdings or pensions are involved. I always endeavour to help clients resolve matters in a constructive and cost effective way, so they can move forward positively. I qualified as a mediator in 1998 and as a collaborative lawyer in 2005. I can therefore, offer my clients a range of options on how they can best resolve matters. I am an active member of Resolution and an accredited member of the Law Society's Family and Mediation Panels.Quote from Legal 500 for 2011 - 'Sally Smith is recommended for divorce work involving complex financial issues. She can provide a 'straight forward and clear assessment of what is possible and reasonable, without wasting time and money'.

Listed skills include Collaborative Law, Legal Advice, Family Law, Dispute, and 28 others.

  Sally started her legal career at Tollers as a Trainee solicitor in September 1992. She then qualified as an Assistant Solicitor in the Family Department in September 1994. In her early years, the firm did a lot of legally aided work, where she learned the art of assimilating a lot of information quickly, cutting through to the key issues of a matter and balancing time in the office, with a lot of court commitments. It was a fantastic learning ground.In 2001 Sally became a salaried partner and in 2002 she joined the equity partnership. In 2005, the firm ceased undertaking legally aided work and since that time, Sally has looked after privately paying clients, tailoring her specialist advice to their specific needs and circumstances.Sally has held a variety of posts within the Firm: she sat on the Firm's Management Board for 8 years and was Office Managing Partner for the Milton Keynes office for 4 years and Managing Partner for 2 years.
