Solicitor at Ward Gethin Archer Limited
Sally Dean
Solicitor - Director / Solicitor
SRA ID: 414271
I studied for a music degree at the University of East Anglia and retrained into law. I have worked within a legal environment since 2002 and qualified as a solicitor in 2008. I gained a broad experience working on dispute resolution and family cases before returning to East Anglia in 2017 to specialise exclusively in family cases, with a particular interest in matrimonial finances and complex asset structures. I am a resolution member and qualified in the collaborative approach in 2019. I advise on all aspects of family law including separation, divorce, civil partnership dissolution, matrimonial finances and planning for a future relationship or a second marriage, as well as the rights of unmarried couples, including cohabitation agreements. I regularly handle issues regarding children such as the question of with which parent(s) children should live with and spend time. I also handle private law relating to children matters including those involving allegations of harm. I am a member of Resolution and qualified as a collaborative lawyer in 2019. Collaborative law is a process which aims to resolve family issues in a constructive way, which can be especially useful where the parties want to maintain future relations such as where a business or children are involved. With several years’ experience in civil litigation, dispute resolution and employment, I can assist clients where there are other issues that often arise in a relationship breakdown, such as dealing with business assets and third-party rights in property.

Following the recommendation from a family friend was put in touch with WGA. With the lengthy process in a resolution Sally was on hand in supporting throughout with continued updates on progress or details required to progress further. Even if the third party attempted to delay proceedings Sally would manage the the situation. With the conclusion now complete I would fully recommend WGA on any legal matters.

I contacted WGA to get help with the splitting of matrimonial assets. I found Sally and her team to be so patient, caring and understanding. Sally was professional from start to finish and I felt very protected and assured by her commitment to my case.
Unfortunately, a Conflict of Interest arose with my case and the legal representation had to cease with WGA.
Should the need arise, I would definitely used the services of WGA again.

Sally has the ability to be reassuringly knowledgeable and professional while making me feel less stressed and unsure about my lack of knowledge and experience of legal matters. She is able to make me feel heard despite not always having the right words to communicate my situation. She exhibits professionalism wrapped in compassion
