Eleri practises in both private children and family finance cases, including financial provision for children and associated cohabitation disputes (see Schedule 1 reported case of O v P (Jurisdiction Under Children Act 1989 Sch 1) [2012] 1 FLR 329). A significant amount of Eleri’s work has an international element. Eleri is frequently asked to advise upon the international aspects of both children and divorce/financial work, including questions of jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement. Eleri is known for her particular expertise and specialisation advising upon the operation of the Maintenance Regulation, Brussels IIa and the 2007, 1996 and 1980 Hague Conventions (see reported cases of Re H (Children) (Jurisdiction: Habitual residence) [2014] EWCA Civ 1101 and AR v RN (Habitual Residence) [2015 UKSC 35). Eleri’s work in the international arena also extends to surrogacy work (see recent published case of Y and Z v W and X [2017] EWFC 60).

Eleri is a member of an EU Law working group of international family law considering the possibilities for reform of UK family law as a result of Brexit. Eleri also sits on the Resolution International Committee.
