Practice Areas

Jenny advises on all aspects of family law, with a focus on financial matters following family separation. The Legal 500 describes her as “extraordinarily knowledgeable, responsive, and – importantly – sympathetic, sensible and understanding”.

Jenny has expertise in all areas of contentious private family law including financial disputes and child arrangements (both practical, and financial) on family breakdown – whether that’s divorce, dissolution or separation.

On the non-contentious side Jenny also advises on nuptial agreements, cohabitation and parenting plans.

Jenny’s cases often include trust assets, business assets and inherited wealth and overlap with various other jurisdictions. She works closely with professionals in other industries where required and utilises alternative dispute resolution where possible.

Jenny’s client base is not restricted to the North of England and she acts for individuals both across the UK and overseas, running her own cases independently and also working along with partners in the firms’ Leeds and London offices.

Through her work within the department’s Professional Practices Group, Jenny has particular expertise in acting for professional clients (and their spouses) and resolving the complex issues that frequently arise.

Jenny graduated with a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2009. Following qualification in 2013, she joined Stewarts as a solicitor in 2016, before being promoted to associate in 2018 and then senior associate in 2021.
