I undertake a wide variety of contentious and non-contentious private family law matters. I advise mostly High-Net-Worth individuals on matters including divorce and dissolution, complex financial remedies, child arrangements, and pre/ post nuptial agreements.

I have practised exclusively in private family law since starting my career in law in 2018. My work encompasses a range of matters from adoption proceedings to injunction applications under the Family Law Act 1996. However, my work particularly focuses on divorce, complex financial remedies and disputes relating to child arrangements, often with an international element.

I take an empathetic yet pragmatic approach to family disputes. I understand the importance of considering alternative means of dispute resolution where practical when faced with emotionally complex problems. Nevertheless, I fully appreciate the need to litigate when it is in the client’s best interests to do so.

I am a member of Resolution, an organisation committed to following constructive approaches in order to resolve high conflict family law issues.

I completed my undergraduate degree in History at Loughborough University. I then studied at the University of Law where I obtained an MA in Law and completed the Legal Practice Course. I joined Fladgate as a paralegal in 2021 and qualified as a solicitor in October 2023. Prior to joining Fladgate, I worked at a boutique family law specialist firm in the City for 2 years.

Outside of work, my weekends are usually spent fitting my plans around the Formula 1 schedule to ensure I never miss a race. I am also fascinated by US civil rights history and spend much of my free time reading the works of Angela Davis, Huey P. Newton, Michelle Alexander, and many more.
