Helen specialises in family law and advises clients on a wide range of issues including those relating to pre-nuptial agreements, cohabitation, divorce, financial settlements and children.
Helen has particular expertise in helping clients agree upon a financial settlement and advising them on the issues that often arise, for example where there are pension funds, cases where there are business interests to consider and cases where there are family trusts.
Helen is a trained Collaborative Lawyer and is therefore committed to dealing with matters in a non-adversarial way. In Helen’s experience, most clients prefer to try and reach an agreement without the need for court proceedings and with them saving costs in the process. However, if the need arises, Helen also has lots of experience of taking cases to court and achieving successful outcomes for her clients.
Helen is known for her “cutting to the chase” approach and her practical advice.
Helen qualified as a lawyer in 2000 and became a Partner in 2010. Helen is a member of Resolution (previously the Solicitors Family Law Association) and a member and treasurer of the Oxfordshire Collaborative Family Lawyers group.
