I love preparing nuptial agreements and the opportunity of creating agreements that really work for my clients and their families to protect pre-acquired, gifted and inherited assets. Often these involve the succession of family businesses and Family Investment Companies. I have advised on agreements with assets ranging between £0.5m and £35m.

Separate Together launched at the end of 2022, this service allows me to advise both parties in a divorce and to help them reach agreements on their financial arrangements. This modern option to dealing with divorce and separation allows more control and flexibility for clients, not to mention a cost saving.

Dealing with finances on divorce can be challenging and with almost 15 years’ experience in this area, I have been involved in many different types of cases and a range of assets and issues. I really enjoy working with clients to find cost effective solutions that work with their objectives and desired outcomes whether this be advising in the background whilst going through mediation or engaging in court proceedings.

With rights for cohabitants continuing to fall short of those for married couples, I work with clients looking to provide certainty and more favourable outcomes in the event that they separate from their partner.

Working alongside our private client team, I advise on the content and implications of family charters. these family based agreements can be an important foundation for protecting wealth through generations.

Complementing my wealth protection practice, I also have gained a specialty in advising family and individuals upon the implications of trust assets on divorce and strategies for dealing with them prior to or following separation.

Working with our Court of Protection team, I am instructed in cases where a deputy or litigation friend has been appointed. This includes cases where a party has lost capacity as a result of a medical condition, accident, personal injury or clinical negligence. Working with the wider support network, I look to preserve resources and to minimise the impact of divorce on parties as far as possible.
