I completed a twenty-year Army career in the Royal Logistic Corps as an officer gaining particular experience in delivering training, recruiting officers, project management, advising governments, operations and planning, and even running a string of British Forces Post Offices. Changing tack to pursue a career in the law, many of the skills learned in the Army have proved directly transferable to this role.
I studied for my Graduate Diploma and Legal Practice Certificate at the University of Law in Bristol, completing the latter with distinction. I trained at a full-service law firm in the South West before starting at Goughs in the Family department and I have a particular interest in, and an understanding of the effect that life in the military has when facing relationship upheaval or other related family law problems.

I specialise in complex Armed Forces pensions on divorce and I am the Armed Forces Sector Lead. With my military background, I am particularly knowledgeable in the areas of military relationship breakdown, children issues involving military parents and contested military finance cases.
My greatest achievements are achieving 1st Dan black belt in Taekwondo, being a self-taught amateur drummer, and being an Indian restaurant-style curry “chef”.
I am fortunate to be supported by Louise Johnston, who can be contacted at louisejohnston@goughs.co.uk.
The amazing approach to teamwork by the leadership team which engenders a culture of trust, co-operation coaching, and mentoring to enable everyone to focus on the client. Autonomy and support in equal measure and an interesting mix of cases to work on.
