About me Expertise

About me

"I am a newly qualified family lawyer who puts my clients at the centre of everything I do.”

I joined the family law team as a newly qualified solicitor in March 2023, further to training with the firm for the previous two years.

Since joining the team, I have dealt with a wide range of work with a particular focus on divorce and financial matters arising from separation. I have also assisted on wealth protection matters, including nuptial and cohabitation agreements.

I am a member of Resolution and strive to resolve cases outside of court and adopt a constructive and non-confrontational approach.

I am a member of the firm’s Inclusion Committee as I believe that everyone should be able to bring the most authentic versions of themselves to work.
