I advise on complex financial claims, and disputes arising on divorce or relationship breakdown, usually for high net worth individuals, including CEOs, farmers, lawyers, members of the medical and other professions, as well as members of the armed forces. I am an expert on pensions on divorce, particularly NHS and Armed Forces pensions, and pre and postnuptial settlements.

Personal

Although I have been a family lawyer for many years, I also have experience as a defamation and privacy lawyer, having acted for a number of publications and individuals for over 10 years, before returning to Family law. I enjoy swimming, walking and reading, as well as good food and wine. I count myself a fair weather sailor.
