I am a conscientious and efficient Partner and joint Head of the Family team at Lawrence Stephens. I work closely with clients on complex family issues, with a particular interest in Children Act matters, to include cross-border relocation, change of residence applications and internal relocations. I also specialise in completing my own advocacy to ensure a smooth and cohesive process, which results in my clients feeling supported throughout the process. 

My experience includes divorce and matrimonial finance work and I have worked with clients through complex matters, including the division of businesses and high-value properties. I pride myself on providing first-class support to clients during challenging times – focusing on their needs as a priority.

I have been ranked as a key lawyer in the Legal 500 (2021, 2023) and Chambers and Partners (2022,2023) legal directories as an ‘Associate to Watch’. I also lecture at Bath Spa University in all areas of law but, with a particular focus on family law.

Outside of work, I am a keen sportsperson having played netball, tennis and hockey to a high level.

Experience highlights

  • Acting for a father, where the mother had accused him of sexual assault. The father denied the allegations. Further to a fact finding hearing, whereby no findings were made, the Court ordered for change of residence of the child, into the father’s care, with costs being awarded for the father, to be paid by the mother.

  • Acting for a wife in a complex separation of matrimonial finances. The wife was a victim of domestic abuse, having secured a non-molestation order against the husband utilising my services. The wife was awarded an 80/20 split in her favour, with the husband ordered to pay some of the wife’s costs, due to his litigation conduct.

  • Acted on behalf of the husband in a landmark reported financial remedies case concerning the provenance of assets and the approach when pre-marital assets had been used as a matrimonial home.

I qualified as a solicitor in September 2025, having joined Lawrence Stephens as a trainee in 2023. I am part of the Family team, where I advise on a wide range of matters including divorce, pre-nuptial agreements, financial settlements, and non-molestation orders.

My practice includes working with professionals, high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals, often involving complex financial arrangements and asset protection. I also assist with cohabitation agreements and advise on disputes between cohabiting couples, including those arising under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA).

I have experience supporting clients through sensitive issues such as spousal maintenance, non-matrimonial assets, and separation agreements, and I work closely with colleagues across our firm in Farringdon to deliver tailored, strategic advice.

I studied Jurisprudence at the University of Oxford, followed by an LLM with SQE at the University of Law.

Outside of work, I enjoy F1 and exploring new restaurants across London.

Experience Highlights

  • Working on a cross-jurisdictional pre-nuptial agreement with significant assets in trust.
  • Assisting on the M v F [2025] EWFC 257 (B) to achieve the result of a ‘lives with’ order for the mother with an order for no contact with the father
