I am an associate specialising in:

• divorce and separation matters;
• financial claims, including pension claims, claims for children, maintenance and property;
• enforcement proceedings;
• disputes relating to children;
• emergency injunctions;
• cohabitation/TOLATA claims;
• living together/cohabitation agreements; and
• separation agreements.

I have experience dealing with matters that involve various corporate structures, trusts, pensions and investments.

I also act for parties who are joined to or intervene in financial remedy proceedings as a result of arguments about jointly owned assets or assets in which other parties hold a beneficial interest.

I frequently advise in relation to children disputes, including applications for child arrangements, specific issue orders, prohibited steps orders and enforcement of child arrangements.

Examples of my experience include:

• advising in respect of divorce and financial matters involving numerous different pensions;
• advising in respect of financial settlements involving complex trust and company structures;
• acting for parties in contested court proceedings relating to property ownership, sale or transfer of jointly-owned properties and arguments in relation to beneficial
  ownership;
• acting for parents in contested court proceedings in relation to the return of children from elsewhere in the UK and the enforcement of a child arrangements order; and
• acting for interveners within financial remedy proceedings.

I am a member of Resolution. I believe in a non-confrontational and constructive approach to family matters and the avoidance of costly court proceedings where possible. I am confident in dealing with court proceedings where this is necessary, including representing clients at hearings as appropriate.

I am the treasurer of Women in Business based in Basingstoke and an active participant on the Women in Business committee.
