Career

Nick is a leading family law silk with a substantial first instance and appellate practice, primarily in the law relating to children. His advocacy is measured, subtle and firm. Out of court he is noted for his thorough paperwork and excellent client relationships. He took silk in 2014 and now routinely appears in the most complex and serious cases typically involving allegations of inflicted injury and abuse. He undertakes increasing amounts of appellate work in the Court of Appeal often with technical argument on difficult points of law. In 2016 he was appointed a Deputy High Court Judge, sitting exclusively in the Family Division, having previously sat as a Recorder since 2010. The legal directories (see below) note the respect he commands from judges and opponents alike, as well as his meticulous preparation, careful paperwork and skill as an advocate.
