Children

A wide range of experience in all Public Law matters acting for all parties from the Guardians, to Local Authorities to the Parents and Interveners.

In the Private law area she has wide experience of all types of disputes, including where findings of fact are required due to issues of sexual abuse and/or domestic violence and cases where the children have been separately represented due to implacable hostility of one of the parents. She also has considerable experience in cases involving child abduction and the Hague Convention.
