Madeleine is a distinguished Partner at Bin Sevan Advocates, leading their highly regarded Family Law Department.
With over a decade of experience in UAE family law and nine years in England, she excels in High Net Worth divorces, children's matters, and cross-border abductions.
Relocating to Dubai allowed her to handle complex multi-jurisdictional divorces, earning acclaim for her expertise in both local and international legal systems.
Madeleine is adept in Sharia-based UAE Personal Status law, providing exceptional guidance to expatriates and ensuring that divorces are recognised both in the UAE and clients' home countries. She represents clients in Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court and adeptly handles cases in Dubai Courts, offering comprehensive support for a wide range of family-related issues. Additionally, Madeleine provides valuable child protection advice to schools.
Her expertise is underscored by three consecutive Band 1 rankings by Chambers and Partners in the High Net Worth category and recognition by Spear's 500 as the only top-recommended Dubai-based British Family Lawyer in the Middle East.
Madeleine also inspires future legal professionals as a faculty member at Middlesex University, Dubai Campus, where she has taught for over seven years.
