Sally Robinson

Partner, Head of Family, Central England


Why choose me

I am an approachable solicitor with lived experience based in Northampton, and I have practised exclusively in family law since 2003. My strength is in providing clear and realistic advice, and I aim to empower my clients to make informed decisions to move forward positively.

I work with a wide range of people across the UK and abroad providing strategic advice when embarking on a relationship, already in one or looking to end one, to protect their wealth or position. My clients include high net worth individuals, land or business owners, farmers, working professionals, homemakers, or their spouse. I also act for third parties who have an interest in financial remedy proceedings, such as trustees of a relevant trust.

My specialisms include nuptial agreements, living together agreements, divorce and associated financial matters, and property disputes for unmarried couples. I also often act in complex cases concerning the arrangements for children, including where there are allegations of alienation or abuse, or there are disputes arising around donor conceived children. I am experienced in receiving instructions from Court of Protection Deputies on family law matters when looking after the interests of individuals lacking mental capacity.

I am a member of Resolution; an organisation for family lawyers who are keen to promote a constructive approach to family law issues and consider the needs of the whole family, and I encourage out of court settlements. I am one of the few lawyers in my region that can act for a separating couple together under the One Couple, One Lawyer model and I am ranked by Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.

Outside work, I enjoy the theatre, travelling, restaurants and most importantly, spending time with family and friends.

Questions my clients ask me

It really depends. Legal advice on a potential financial settlement, including the division of any property, can only be given once full financial disclosure has been exchanged with your former partner or spouse. Once exchanged, I will guide you through the law and legal principles that apply to your situation and give you realistic advice on what is possible.

Each matter is unique. However, I will provide a breakdown of the likely costs for you early on, tailored to your situation, to help you plan how those costs will be met. Bear in mind that the approach that you and your former spouse or partner takes is likely to affect the overall cost.

The majority of cases will not end up in court; most settlements are reached outside court through negotiation, sometimes with or without the attendance at mediation. Court proceedings are usually the last resort if matters cannot be compromised, or there is some other overriding need to invoke the court’s jurisdiction.

Read what my clients say about me

Sally was the epitome of support and understanding at all times, the care and compassion she showed through my case was perfect and she was so professional and knowledgeable, I always felt well looked after and nothing ever felt like a problem. What impressed me the most was her ability to always listen to my thoughts and perspective, take them onboard properly, not just humour me, and then work out a way to progress that was sensitive and kind as well as totally professional. I cant imagine how difficult my process would have been without Sally Simply the Best, no question.
