ABOUT ME
Depth of experience in family finance
With more than 35 years’ experience practising exclusively in family law, I provide specialist family financial arbitration services.
Throughout my career, I have specialised in resolving the financial consequences of relationship breakdown, advising on cases across the full spectrum of asset values. My work has focused on complex cases, often involving substantial financial resources, wealth deriving from outside the relationship, business interests and trusts. This depth of experience provides the foundation for my work as an arbitrator.
I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and I undertake work solely in the field of family financial arbitration.
