Katie Cowton KC

Practice Areas

Katie is highly sought after as a specialist in jurisdictional disputes, divorce financial remedies and child financial claims. A powerful advocate with a commercial approach, her high-profile clients value her discretion. She sits as family Judge (Recorder), is a family Arbitrator (MCIArb), and is available as a private FDR Judge.

Katie is instructed to appear in complicated international cases, involving corporate, trusts and tax issues, predominantly in the High Court and Central Family Court. She is instructed to advise on and draft pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and cohabitation agreements, including those with international dimensions, and is well known for her expertise in high net worth cases. Much of Katie’s practice takes place away from the public eye, resolving complex, often high-profile cases at private FDRs.
