I am a Senior Associate in the Family Team offering over 9 years of experience in guiding clients through complex family law matters. Specialising in divorce, financial settlements, children related disputes and matters involving domestic abuse.
Having completed a course in Counselling at Bath College, I combine a deep understanding of emotional well-being with legal expertise, enabling me to support clients not only through legal challenges but also through the emotional complexities of family breakdowns. This unique skill set allows me to offer a holistic approach to family law, fostering productive communication between parties and helping clients navigate difficult decisions with care and empathy.
I take time to get to know my clients so that I can understand their objectives, provide tailored advice and protect family wealth and relationships wherever possible. My approach is constructive and collaborative and wherever possible, I always try to resolve issues without litigation.

I was promoted to Associate within a year of joining Goughs, of which I am very proud. One of my greatest professional achievements is being ranked as a key lawyer in the 2024 Legal 500 Directory and receiving this quote: “Alice Blackmore is going to go far in her legal career. She is meticulous in her preparation and she provides sound advice to her clients.”
From a personal perspective, I have also completed a Counselling Course alongside my career as a lawyer at Goughs and obtained a distinction. I believe that this added level of knowledge and training enables me to provide a holistic and compassionate service to my clients at all stages of a relationship breakdown.
Goughs provides me with an interesting case load and a great variety of work whilst also maintaining a healthy balance between work and home life. I have felt extremely supported and valued since joining Goughs and feel a great sense of community spirit. I have also been encouraged to develop and progress in my career alongside raising a young family. I particularly enjoy supervising young lawyers starting out in the profession, and Goughs have provided me with an opportunity to do this. Being based in Wiltshire provides me with the opportunity to explore the beautiful countryside with my young family and dog after work enabling me to feel refreshed for the next day ahead.

"Alice has been a great help to me and my family during a difficult and stressful time. Her understanding and professional handling of our situation led to a fast and effective resolution to much relief. I would highly recommend Alice for family matters."

"Alice was outstanding and has been so kind and compassionate with everything that has come along in the last year and also in having to deal with the other party who was very difficult."
Thank you Alice for your fantastic professional support, with care, compassion, and kindness, of our need for explanation and understanding of the system and language in a lot of correspondence. Thank you too for being always being honest and empathetic of our feelings, when we needed to understand such a minefield of law, and on occasions when we needed to express how we felt, during some very difficult moments.
Kind and friendly and so professional. Dealt with matters quickly. Couldn’t have asked for a better service
"Can I take this opportunity to thank you for everything that you have done for me over these last few months, you always made me feel reassured whenever I spoke to you about different matters and you helped me achieve what was owed to me, so thank you so much."
