I am a Birmingham based family law barrister with extensive experience of dealing with financial disputes between separating spouses, civil partners and unmarried couples, under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, the Civil Partnership Act 2004, Schedule 1 to the Children Act 1989 and the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996.

I deal regularly with cases of significant legal and/or factual complexity, both where the parties’ means are substantial and where the resources available for distribution are more modest.

I am often instructed in cases involving, for example, the alleged concealment or dissipation of assets; nuptial agreements; significant pre-acquired, inherited or other non-matrimonial wealth; farming assets; businesses large and small; complex and valuable public service, Armed Forces or self-invested pensions; on- and off-shore trusts; jurisdictional issues; and substantial assets overseas.

I am ‘ranked’ in the Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 UK Bar directories.

Julie is a family law arbitrator qualified in both children and financial matters although practising predominantly in disputes regarding children. She is based in Brighton where she practises as a barrister but is willing to travel throughout the UK and beyond for arbitration. Julie has practised in family law since qualifying in 2000 and her confidence in arbitration stems from seeing on a daily basis the emotional and financial strain that lengthy court proceedings can place on families.

Julie is much sought after for the experience, skill and care that she brings. Her preparation is meticulous. She is a down to earth, friendly and reassuring presence for parents. Her style is practical and focussed. She works hard to find solutions for families within arbitration and ensures that cases are listed and dealt with promptly, minimising delay for the children.

Julie is a well known author and has written a legal textbook as well as writing regularly for legal periodicals. Her articles about arbitration are published by Family Law Week.

The following quote is from a solicitor who instructs Julie regularly:

“Julie’s professional attitude combined with her approachable demeanour make her a firm favourite with clients. Julie puts them at her ease whilst offering sound advice. Her drive and determination have produced life changing outcomes for some clients who have been supported by Julie, both legally and emotionally along the way”.

On a daily basis I deal with the most highly conflicted family disputes in the High Court. I specialise solely in representing children through their guardian in High Court proceedings through my role as Solicitor-Advocate at Cafcass Legal.

I have represented children at all levels of court and have appeared in many reported cases, including cases as Advocate to the court.

I trained as a mediator in 2011 and have assisted many couples to reach agreement over arrangements for their children.

As my practice is entirely devoted to representing children in a unique role it should provide confidence to those participating in arbitration that a modern and child centred determination will be at the forefront of my decision making.
