I am an associate solicitor in the family department.
I grew up in Brighton and Hove and previously worked at another local firm, Griffith Smith (now part of DMH Stallard), but left the area in 2015, initially for a spell working in human rights abroad, before undertaking my training contract in a regional firm based in Hampshire/Dorset.
I qualified into family in March 2020 and worked the next two years as a solicitor in Bournemouth.
I decided the allure of Sussex was too much for me and have recently returned to my roots!
I deal predominantly with financial remedy and private children disputes. I also have a particular interest in the legal aspects of relationship breakdown between unmarried couples.
I have always dealt with cases beyond my years of qualification and I relish cases in which sound analytical skills are required and also where knowledge of other areas of law is necessary.
My clients are varied as I deal with both higher value financial remedy/TOLATA matters but also cases where money is tight.
Particular achievements have been the two spells I have spent abroad, interning at both the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and also the Cambodian Center for Human Rights.
These experiences both gave me a sense of perspective and also shone a light on how the law can provide an answer in extremely challenging circumstances.
I am also individually ranked in the Legal 500 2025 UK Directory.
I really enjoy sport and being outdoors. I especially enjoy watching football and boxing and attend live events as often as I can.
I also enjoy music and going to festivals.
