She has particular experience in financial remedy cases involving high-net-worth individuals, and complex and/or international elements.

Before qualifying, I worked with vulnerable adults in the charity sector and with victims of image-based abuse. My experiences in these roles allows me to bring empathetic communication to my role as well as a holistic view of the sensitive issues that clients often face when they come to a family lawyer.
