I provide advice across the whole spectrum of family and child law, including financial provision on divorce, separation, cohabitation, adoption and permanence orders and modern family creation.

I approach client cases with professionalism, sensitivity and understanding. My preference is to employ a robust but solutions focussed, client-centric approach, to empower clients to acheive an amicable conclusion to their case wherever possible.
