Areas of Practice
Children (Private)
Finances & Property
When parents separate, disputes over children can centre on a range of issues, from a child’s living arrangements, education, religious upbringing, medical treatment and financial provision to international relocation and declarations of parentage.
I am also well positioned to advise on the best options for your children’s particular circumstances. Every family is unique: each requires a bespoke approach to ensure that the children’s best interests are promoted, their well-being is considered and their various needs are met.
Negotiating a financial settlement is rarely straightforward: litigating a case almost never is. I take a straightforward, realistic and commercial approach to financial and property issues.
My approach is tailored to each individual case. I deliver commercial, objective and practical advice to enable you to make the right decision. Clients benefit from my approachability, understanding and realistic perspective.
International Family Law
Ever-increasing international nature of families and family life. The U.K., and London, in particular, plays host to many families with overseas connections, where additional legal and practical considerations need careful consideration.
My international experience includes cases acting for clients in family law jurisdiction / forum disputes, cases with cross-border and foreign asset disclosure and enforcement issues, international relocation and child abduction cases and public children cases with an international dimension, including international adoption.
