Lawyers

I'm very conscious that there are a number of considerations, of which the legal is only one, to be taken into account. That's why there must be a close working relationship and understanding between my client and me to ensure the client's interests are met.

I am aware that if there are alternative ways of resolving matters without court then they should be undertaken if appropriate. It is for this reason that I have undertaken both training as a collaborative family lawyer and also as a mediator.

I have also worked for many years as an Independent Children's Lawyer representing children in court proceedings. As a consequence, I have a unique experience to be able to understand legal proceedings and the effects of separation from the perspective of children as well as parents.
