SRA ID: 163022

I graduated with a law and business studies degree before working in London for the Crown Prosecution Service. In January 1991, I joined Goughs and then completed my Law Society finals at the University of the West of England, Bristol. After completing my training with the firm, I became a Partner in 1999. As a partner in the Family Department, I specialise in complex, high-value financial cases following on from divorce and separation. I also have a great deal of experience in private law Children Act cases, particularly acting for parents in relation to Child Arrangement Orders. I am also a member of the Armed Forces sector team. As the firms’ Finance Partner, I am responsible for the financial management of the practice. More recently I became Managing Partner in 2021, I am proud to lead the strategic development of the firm at a time when all departments are seeing growth, in terms of both client matters and a strong recruitment drive within the firm.
