Family law
Tammy is a partner in the London office, specialising in all areas of family law, particularly those with an international element. She is a Resolution-trained mediator and is committed to assisting couples in resolving issues following the breakdown of relationships as amicably as possible. Her practice is particularly strong in drafting pre- and post-marital agreements.
She is often sought out to advise high net worth individuals on complex international child abduction and relocation disputes and is equally skilled at dealing with financial issues arising from separation, Family Law Act applications and disputes regarding child arrangements. Tammy can be instructed by teenage children who wish their voices to be heard in family law proceedings. She is one of only a handful of lawyers consistently recognised in Chambers UK for cross border children disputes and is ranked as a next generation partner in the Legal 500.
I am a family and matrimonial lawyer, specialising in both financial and children matters for ultra-high net worth and high net worth clients, frequently with an international element. I am sought out for my experience in complex international children matters and am known for my commitment to my cases and ability to move matters forward amicably.
As a member of Resolution, Tammy chairs the children committee and has co-authored the ‘children proceedings’ section of the Resolution Family Law Handbook. She holds the Resolution specialist accreditations in Complex Financial Remedies Part II (HNW) and Private Law Children. She is also a founding member of the Child Abduction Lawyers Association.
Tammy co-leads the firm’s individuals in sport and entertainment sector and is often instructed by those in this industry. She is passionate about promoting the role of women in sports and the sports industry and in driving Penningtons Manches Cooper’s sports practice forward in this area, and across the wider sports sector. She is one of a small number of family lawyers to be ranked in the Legal 500 for both family and sports and entertainment.
