I qualified as a Solicitor in 2016 and was previously a Partner at a leading Niche Family Law firm in Harrogate. I work nationally dealing with the full range of family law matters and specialising in divorce, separation and children.

The best way to decide if using a solicitor is right for you is probably not to read more of this profile but to speak to some! We all have different styles and ways of working. To find out if I’m your cup of tea, get in touch for a free initial chat. 

For those still reading…I resolve both straightforward and more complex divorces involving all levels of assets negotiating practical and favourable financial agreements on divorce both within and outside of the court process. None of my cases to date have required a judge to impose a decision, saving money and providing certainty and security.

I am a Resolution Accredited Specialist in both Pensions, and Complex Finance (middle to high income and asset divorces) and have been asked to become an assessor. This means I have the expertise on how to approach dealing with issues such as:

• A spouse refusing to provide financial information or negotiate reasonably
• Inherited assets
• Trusts
• Businesses
• Assets one spouse had before the marriage
• Health impacting earning capacity
• A spouse trying to dispose of, or hide assets
• Understanding the true value of pensions, particularly public sector pensions

I have vast experience supporting a range of clients: from time poor highly financially astute business professionals and business owners to those who have never been involved with their finances and don’t know where to start with understanding them.

I have particular expertise supporting those leaving narcissistic relationships who may be struggling to juggle recovering from the impact of a narcissist with home life, work and divorce. 

I am recognised by the legal rankings as a “strong strategist” and “top-rate solicitor”. I’m one of only two solicitors at my level recommended by Chambers & Partners 2024 for York, Hull & Surrounds. I’m proud to have been acknowledged for resolving arrangements for children with “unrivalled understanding and insight” (Legal 500 23/24). 

I’m a West & North Yorkshire Resolution Committee Member and committed to a constructive way of working. I will still firmly protect your interests but in a way that reduces conflict and saves you money. I’m also a Past President of Harrogate & District Law Society. My reputation enables me to form a constructive working relationship with your spouse’s solicitor to resolve matters fairly and swiftly so you can move on with your life and focus on what’s important.
