Hannah advises on all aspects of divorce and cohabitation, including financial and children matters, and on relationship agreements, including prenuptial and cohabitation agreements. A qualified collaborative lawyer, Hannah’s focus is on providing clear, pragmatic advice whilst maintaining an empathetic approach, taking all available opportunities to minimise conflict, where possible.
Hannah settles cases outside of the Court process wherever possible – but in cases which have to go to court she has a strategic and determined approach to litigation.
Hannah’s cases have involved a wide range of issues, including advising individuals with assets within complex business structures, and international asset bases. Her cases have involved complex litigation including obtaining and defending freezing injunctions, orders for maintenance pending suit, part III (financial claims after a foreign divorce) applications and applications for interim sale. Hannah has a strategic focus when both litigating and negotiating and always aims to keep the long term security for her client and their family at the forefront. She uses her background in property, tax and estate planning to best inform her advice.
Hannah advises on all private law children matters and maintains a strong emphasis on looking at outside-of-court options to reinforce a co-parenting relationship after separation. Hannah is experienced with both domestic and cross-jurisdictional children cases. This includes leave to remove cases, where she has assisted parents in their applications to move to another country with their children. Hannah has represented clients in the High Court in respect of leave to remove applications, Hague 1996 applications and parental orders after overseas surrogacy.
