Private wealth
April is an associate in the family law team in London. She has experience in advising high-net-worth clients in relation to divorce or dissolution, relationship breakdown, financial disputes, and wealth protection through pre- and post-nuptial agreements.
Her cases frequently have an international dimension, involving assets in multiple jurisdictions. April’s practice further extends to private law children cases, including child arrangements, international relocation, safeguarding issues and child abduction. Adopting a compassionate and empathetic approach in her role, April focuses on the goals of each individual and works collaboratively towards practical solutions. She is a member of Resolution, the leading membership organisation for specialist family lawyers in England and Wales, which is dedicated to promoting a constructive approach to family issues. She is also a contributor to publications such as Family Law Journal and ThoughtLeaders4 High Net Worth Divorce.
I appreciate that individuals place a significant amount of trust in their family lawyer, as we are dealing with a salient part of their life. It is therefore my priority to understand and cater to each person’s specific needs, goals and character, whilst undertaking work on their behalf to the highest standard.
April qualified as a solicitor in 2022, having previously worked as a paralegal in the firm’s contentious private client team, before becoming a trainee solicitor in 2020. She holds a bachelor’s degree in law from the University of Oxford and completed the Legal Practice Course at BPP University of Law in London with a distinction. A diversity and inclusion ambassador for the firm, April is also an active member of the mental health and disability committee, and the firm’s EMpower programme, which is committed to increasing the representation of Black and ethnic minority individuals in the legal sector.

What people are saying
I just wanted it to be very clear how grateful I am for your care and robust support of my case… I was deeply impressed by the professionalism demonstrated.
You met me at my lowest, but guided me through a really tough time to the right outcome – with patience, knowledge, guile and robust reaction.
