• Divorce

Jacqueline has trained as a mediator and a collaborative lawyer, and always tries to resolve disputes constructively. Even if litigation is necessary she will continue to offer pragmatic advice on settlement – she has only had four financial cases go to final trial in fourteen years of practice.
