Henrietta accepts instructions in all areas of private family law. She has appeared in a number of reported cases, both as sole counsel (e.g. RI v NG [2025] EWFC 9 (B), UG v NN [2022] EWHC 8 (Fam)) and as a junior to other members of chambers (e.g. GO v YA [2024] EWFC 411, CG v DL [2023] EWFC 82, Horohoe v Horohoe [2020] EWFC 102).

In addition to her caseload, Henrietta sits on various family law committees. She is a member of the Editorial Board of the Financial Remedies Journal, and was a member of the financial remedies sub-group of the Transparency Implementation Group, which wrote a report for the President of the Family Division containing recommendations about what changes should be made to the media’s ability to report on private financial remedies hearings. Henrietta is particularly well placed to advise clients concerned about privacy and media attention given her involvement in the Transparency Implementation Group.
Henrietta is a co-author of the annually revised textbook Financial Remedies Practice (Class Legal), together with Sir Nicholas Mostyn (formerly Mr Justice Mostyn), Lewis Marks KC, Richard Sear KC, Gavin Smith, Phillip Blatchly, Joshua Viney and Henry Pritchard.
She has had over 50 articles and case summaries published by Class Legal, Family Law Week, LexisPSL and Estates Gazette, and for a year wrote weekly case summaries for Class Legal’s newsletter.
