Jennifer is a specialist family law practitioner. She has a thriving practice in family finance, and has successfully represented high-net-worth clients in complex cases involving inherited wealth, family businesses, significant pensions, trusts, and nuptial agreements. Many of her cases involve tax complications, foreign assets and cross-jurisdictional issues, and the validity or otherwise of an overseas marriage/ divorce (including those relating to jurisdictions in Asia and Africa). Jennifer has appeared in high-profile reported cases, notably in Veluppillai v Veluppillai & Ors [2015] EWHC 3095 (Fam) (High Court), in LFL v LSL (McKenzie Friends & Breach of Court Orders) [2017] EWFC B62, and in N v N (Afghanistan: Validity of an overseas marriage: Procedure)[2020] EWFC B55. Jennifer also has an interest in Court of Protection matters, particularly where there are overlaps with divorce/financial remedies, and retains a niche practice in surrogacy/modern families, having acted for commissioning parents in the UK and abroad in HFEA cases. Jennifer is regularly instructed in arbitrations, private FDRs and mediations. She sits as a private FDR judge. She has been consistently top-ranked in the directories as a leading junior in her field, and has been highly commended for her attention to detail and her robust approach.
