Jennifer Dickson is a standout family lawyer recognised as a Next Generation Partner in both children and finance work. She specialises in complex legal issues arising from relationship breakdowns, including financial remedy claims for married and unmarried couples, disputes over child arrangements, relocation cases, and nuptial agreements. Her practice frequently involves international elements, trust structures, and high-value assets, often representing high net worth individuals and public figures seeking discretion.
Jennifer is known for her calm, pragmatic approach and her commitment to resolving matters swiftly and amicably. As a qualified mediator, she actively promotes non-court solutions, though she is a tenacious litigator when needed.
Her work on high-profile cases includes advising hedge fund manager Sir Chris Hohn in the largest divorce case in English legal history, successfully defending his wife's claim to half of the wealth and securing reporting restrictions to protect sensitive information.
Jennifer's practice also includes high-conflict children work, including relocation matters and allegations of domestic abuse and alienating behaviour.
Peers and clients alike praise her: ‘Jennifer Dickson inspires confidence in clients. She earns their trust with a firm grasp of their facts, emotional intelligence, and laser-focused judgment’ and ‘Jennifer Dickson knows every aspect of her cases inside out and will leave no stone unturned’.
