Legal Director


Why choose me

Having worked on family matters for over 35 years, I have a wealth of experience. I enjoy being able to support clients to achieve their desired outcome.

I have a direct approach. I look at the big picture and likely outcome of a situation. This, combined with a healthy amount of emotional intelligence, allows me to minimise pointless arguments and focus my clients on the most productive way forward.

I became a family lawyer because I like people. I enjoy solving problems and being able to advise my clients on the best way to achieve the result for which they are hoping. Where appropriate, I encourage clients to work together, to retain a civil relationship, especially when children are involved.

My clients are often high net worth individuals including business owners, tv and sports personalities, politicians and professionals such as lawyers and property developers. Most have extensive and complex assets. They look to me to guide them through their matter swiftly and efficiently.

With family law, no two cases are ever the same. I enjoy being able to use my experience to advise my clients, whilst also getting to the bottom of their particular circumstances and delivering their desired outcome.

Outside work, my main focus is undoubtedly my own family.

Questions my clients ask me

I can’t say what I would do. You must make your own decision, but I will give you advice to make the decision as easy as possible.

Once we have all the disclosure, I can estimate the range of settlement for you and discuss your options and likely proposals.

Yes – it can hugely affect the outcome. Making a difference to the settlement, the time it takes to conclude everything, the cost of the case and the way you feel about the whole experience. Take note of recommendations from people you respect.
