I am a silk specialising in all aspects of family work. I willingly travel and enjoy working in all areas of the country and in all levels of court. I have always had a broad client base from wealthy individuals to more modestly heeled direct access clients. I have been reported in a number of high profile cases and enjoy working on issues which develop and push the boundaries of the law. I believe that understanding, patience, humour and compassion, together with firmness and fairness, are important qualities in any judicial setting but particularly so for arbitrators.
