“Wonderful to work with" (The Legal 500, 2023) "Excellent lawyer" (The Legal 500, 2022)

I am a specialist family lawyer. My expertise covers all aspects of family law, including complex, contentious matters such as divorce and separation, financial matters arising from divorce or separation and cohabitation disputes as well as non-contentious matters such as pre- and post-marital agreements and cohabitation agreements. I am also experienced in dealing with non-molestation and occupation orders.

I have considerable experience of complex and emergency children matters, for example, those involving the risk of abduction, relocation of children and declaration of parentage. I am skilled in dealing with cases that involve parental alienation, substance abuse, controlling behaviour and claims of domestic violence, including both physical and emotional abuse.

I am a member of Resolution, a family law professionals’ group committed to resolving family disputes in a constructive, non-confrontational way that puts the best interests of the children first.

I joined the family team at Tanners in 2025, having previously worked in Oxfordshire, Cirencester, and London. I qualified as a solicitor in 2018.

Outside of the office I am a keen swimmer and love to spend time with my young family.
