Family Finance & Financial Remedies on Divorce
I have a well-established financial remedies practice, advising and representing clients at all stages of relationship breakdown. I handle cases from modest to medium net worth, including those involving business interests, company structures, and pension assets, and regularly undertake Schedule 1 applications for financial provision for children.

I can assist with:

Financial remedy proceedings on divorce and separation
Schedule 1 applications for financial provision for children
Cases involving companies, business assets, and complex pension arrangements
Cases with a Court of Protection dimension, including where a party lacks capacity

Child Arrangements, Adoption, Special guardianship, Surrogacy
I have extensive experience in private law children proceedings, shaped by several years as a senior childcare advocate representing children's services at all levels of the family courts in complex public law cases. That background gives me a sharper eye for safeguarding concerns and serious allegations when they arise in private law disputes.
I am an experienced in international relocation applications, advising and representing parents both seeking and opposing leave to remove. My broader international practice — spanning child abduction, wardship, intercountry adoption, and kafala arrangements means I am well placed to advise where relocation disputes.

I am a highly experienced Court of Protection advocate, regularly instructed by individuals, local authorities, health bodies, and the Official Solicitor. I act in both health and welfare and property and financial affairs applications. I am sensitive to the impact of dementia and other conditions causing cognitive impairment on families and those who care for them.
I previously worked in local government, representing adult social care teams before the Court of Protection and advising on young people leaving care who lacked capacity. I am particularly attuned to the practical and emotional challenges faced by family members seeking to formalise arrangements to manage the affairs of a loved one, and take care to guide clients through what can be a daunting and unfamiliar process.
My established family law practice means that I am especially well placed to handle cases where Court of Protection issues intersect with family proceedings — for example, where a party to financial remedy or children proceedings lacks capacity, or where family disputes arise in the context of a property and financial affairs application.

Professional Discipline/Regulatory Work
I represent registered professionals facing fitness-to-practise proceedings before the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and Social Work England. I act at all stages of the regulatory process, including interim order hearings, substantive final hearings, and review hearings.
Fitness to practise proceedings can have serious and lasting consequences for a professional's career and livelihood, and I understand how stressful and high-stakes these cases can be. I bring the same commitment and attention to detail to regulatory work as I do across my wider practice, ensuring that those I represent have a clear and compelling voice at every stage of the process.
I can assist with:

Interim order hearings (including applications to impose, vary, or revoke interim conditions of practice or suspension orders)
Substantive final hearings before the NMC and Social Work England
Review hearings, including applications to revoke or vary existing orders
Advice on responding to allegations and preparing for proceedings
Representation of nurses, midwives, and social workers at all stages of fitness to practise proceedings
