I am a Chartered Legal Executive, Partner and head of the family team at Churchers Solicitors based on the South coast. I started practising family law in 1993 and joined Churchers in 1998.

I have been a Resolution Specialist since 2014 concentrating on high net worth financial cases. I aim to negotiate on amicable terms to avoid court proceedings. My straight talking approach assists in identifying the likely order the court will make and I am motivated to achieve the best outcome for my client in the most cost effective way possible.

I advise upon Divorce, Dissolution of Civil Partnerships and Nullity.

I advise and prepare Pre-nuptial agreements, Separation agreements, Cohabitation agreements and Consent orders. If court proceedings cannot be avoided, I advise upon contested financial applications. I have experience in high value conduct cases.

I prepare change of name declarations and single status declarations. I am a commissioner for oaths.

I train, assist and encourage young lawyers to maintain the same ethos in resolving family disputes in a non-confrontational way. I have mentored Portsmouth University students and continue to train the trainee solicitors within Churchers.

I support a local domestic abuse charity providing training and guidance to their staff upon legal aid eligibility.

I continue to provide free 15 minute telephone appointments for family law advice each Friday between 12 and 1pm. This community based service has been recognised in many Hampshire law society awards awarded to the firm.
