As a Partner in the Family team, Simon advises private individuals on all aspects of divorce, relationship breakdown and matrimonial protection, including nuptial agreements. Renowned for helping separating couples to resolve issues in a constructive manner, his approach is assertive but not aggressive. Simon is passionate about standing up for his clients, seeking the best possible outcome in a cost-efficient manner.

He has particular expertise in financial cases involving complex asset structures and works closely with colleagues in other departments to advise trustees and business owners on the impact of divorce on a family business or trust structure. Simon also advises on child arrangements post-separation, both domestic and international and on surrogacy.

He is experienced in all methods of resolving family disputes, including mediation, collaborative law, private court hearings and arbitration as well as court-based litigation.

Simon is ranked in Chambers and is ‘regularly instructed by high net worth clients for his matrimonial finance expertise.’

Simon is the treasurer and an elected board member of Resolution, the membership body for family lawyers. He is committed to Resolution’s Code of Practice, which aims to take the heat out of family proceedings. He co-presents the influential podcast Talking Family Law.
