I graduated with a law and business studies degree before working in London for the Crown Prosecution Service. In January 1991, I joined Goughs and then completed my Law Society finals at the University of the West of England, Bristol. After completing my training with the firm, I became a Partner in 1999.
As a partner in the Family Department, I specialise in complex, high-value financial cases following on from divorce and separation. I also have a great deal of experience in private law Children Act cases, particularly acting for parents in relation to Child Arrangement Orders. I am also a member of the Armed Forces sector team.
As the firms’ Finance Partner, I am responsible for the financial management of the practice. More recently I became Managing Partner in 2021, I am proud to lead the strategic development of the firm at a time when all departments are seeing growth, in terms of both client matters and a strong recruitment drive within the firm.

I often represent clients who live abroad but wish to instruct an English lawyer
By receiving excellent client feedback, I have once again been ranked as a ‘Key Lawyer’ by the prestigious Legal 500 legal directory.
‘Matthew Drew gave me excellent advice and helped steer me during a difficult time. The information he provided was clear and concise, allowing me to make decisions that I felt comfortable with.’
I am very fortunate to be assisted by Sally Turnnidge. Please feel free to contact Sally via sallyturnnidge@goughs.co.uk
“Understanding. Nothing too much trouble.”
The firm is the perfect size for me; it is large enough to provide the highest level of legal excellence, but yet not so large that each person can’t make a difference to the success of the firm. Through strategic planning, the management team of Goughs are constantly striving to improve the firm for the benefit of every colleague and every client.
