Are you involved in a family law case or a divorce? As an experienced lawyer and mediator, I advise and support families, partners and parents in resolving family law disputes. Since 2001, I have focused primarily on family law, mediation and collaborative divorce.
My approach: engaging, creative and personal
I have a particular interest in the law from a human-centred perspective.
In mediation or collaborative divorce proceedings, the focus is on the parties involved. I am inquisitive and creative in finding bespoke solutions to more complex family law disputes; where necessary, I work closely with other professionals to achieve the best possible outcome. Adopting a people-centred yet professional approach, I seek solutions tailored to the specific situation.
My strength lies in my decisiveness: I am alert, approachable, professional and results-oriented. It is precisely those complex matters, where conflicting views seem to make it difficult to reach a solution, that I find challenging.
Expertise
My background, gained through general legal practice, enables me to effectively manage the diverse legal issues that arise in family law. I specialise in particular in:
-
divorces and the dissolution of civil partnerships
-
parenting plans
-
division/settlement of matrimonial property and the division of assets between former cohabiting partners
-
more complex family law disputes involving personal, commercial, financial and tax aspects
Background and education
I have successfully completed the VFas and Vvcp training programmes and, for many years, have taken part in consultations between the judiciary and the legal profession on streamlining procedures for litigants.
I regularly attend courses to keep my legal knowledge up to date and take part in peer review sessions under professional supervision to ensure the correct application of various mediation techniques. An added benefit of this is that it also gives me the opportunity to maintain, refresh, deepen and expand my network of colleagues.
Feel free to get in touch
Sometimes, a single exploratory meeting is enough to determine the best course of action when a relationship ends. Please feel free to get in touch to see whether mediation or a collaborative divorce process is the right step for you.
