Theresa Holden

​Although I started out predominantly in criminal defence litigation, I also has experience in civil litigation and private client work.

I began working in law from grassroots initially as an outdoor clerk, then in case progression in criminal law, as well as being a Head Paralegal in a barristers’ chambers.

I finally decided to specialise in Family Law Practice in February 2016 when the first divorce case I undertook was in respect of an individual who had been systematically mentally abused by his wife and where there was a strong element of financial coercion, and he needed someone on his side to bring about an equitable remedy to a situation where he would have otherwise left the marriage with very little.  It was this case that started me on the path to work within Family Law.

​Over the course of my career I have represented many family clients ranging from divorce cases, Children Act finances and matrimonial property.

Outside of work, I enjoy sailing and cooking.
