Trudi specialises in the financial aspects of divorce, separation and relationship breakdown.

She is recognised for her highly organised and meticulous approach to this complex work. She has a particular expertise in dealing with financial claims for unmarried parents and their children and regularly acts for mothers and fathers in Schedule 1 cases and for unmarried couples to help separate their property and finances (Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustee Act). She is viewed as an effective and formidable litigator and praised for providing excellent and well thought out advice.

Trudi advises clients on children matters – child arrangement orders and leave to remove applications which complements the finance work and provides her clients with complete advice on their family situation in a holistic way.

Trudi is a Resolution Accredited Specialist in Advanced and Complex Financial disputes and Private Children Law.
