Sharon specialises in all aspects of family law relating to children whether in private or public law proceedings which results in her being instructed in the most complex of cases within each area.
Within the private law field, she has extensive experience of child arrangement disputes, and is regularly instructed in intractable cases, leave to remove applications as well as having significant experience being instructed on behalf of the child in rule 16 cases. A number of her cases have significant media interest.
