Felicity Chapman

I am a Partner in Michelmores’ Family team. I advise clients on a range of Family Law issues.

I represent clients in divorce proceedings and the associated financial arrangements through voluntary negotiations, court proceedings and various out-of-court processes including arbitration, “private FDRs” and through the Collaborative process. My work may involve representing a spouse/civil partner or a connected third party such as a family member or trustees. I am particularly experienced in representing high net worth clients in cases involving complex business assets, pensions and trusts.

I frequently advise clients in relation to wealth protection and planning, working with colleagues in other teams to consider the family law implications of their situation, the structures and plans they are putting in place and providing holistic advice. This includes preparing pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements and generally helping clients to understand their legal position and options.

I advise unmarried individuals on cohabitation and separation.

I also represent clients in relation to arrangements for children including decisions about where and with whom children should live, the time to be spent with each parent and other important decisions such as choice of school. I am experienced in dealing with complex cases where there are parallel criminal issues, allegations of domestic abuse and the involvement of wider professionals.

I am committed to ensuring that my clients feel supported and that they receive practical, pragmatic advice on their situation in order to make informed decisions about their future and to be able to move forward with their lives. I will always look for a way to resolve matters amicably and by agreement, though I have a wealth of experience of representing clients both in and out of court where agreement is not possible.
