Career

I joined Child and Child in 2023 as a partner in the Dispute Resolution department, specialising in disputes relating to property and family wealth, including inheritance and disputes in family-run businesses.

My property work generally involves advising property owners, including long-term leaseholders, on possession claims, covenant breaches, boundary and nuisance disputes, and party wall matters; my work on family wealth disputes typically involves challenges to the validity and terms of wills and the administration of estates.

I am well placed to advise on the contentious aspects of business management, including shareholder and partnership disputes and employment matters. I am also a notary public and assist in the completion of documents that are needed for dealing with legal matters in other jurisdictions. I am a member of the Notaries Society and the Property Litigation Association.

Clients appreciate my responsiveness under time pressures, clear advice on often complex matters, and practical approach in pursuing the outcomes they seek.
