I have just retired as a Solicitor but continue to use my knowledge and experience hoping I may help couples navigate separation.
I continue as a Family Law consultant, Collaborative Practitioner & Mediator.
In this role I am now a consultant with the firm where I was the family partner 30 odd years ago, Simons Muirhead Burton, who have an extensive and accomplished family department.
