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. I specialise in Armed Forces pensions on divorce, advising clients on the best way to protect their pension. I understand the effect that life in military has when facing a relationship break down or other related family law problems.

Highly knowledgeable and skilled in Armed Forces Pensions on Divorce and as such ran a seminar with Pump Court Chambers, Forces Pension Society and Actuaries for Lawyers to fellow professionals in March 2024.
I specialise in Armed Forces pensions on divorce and my in-depth knowledge in this complex and niche area led to an article being published by The Financial Remedies Journal. Click here to read more.
With my military background, I sit as the Armed Forces Sector Lead. 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 supported by Jen Lever, who can be contacted via jenlever@goughs.co.uk
“Very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.”
“Took care of our initial enquires and correspondence very well, particular when Rhianna was on leave for a week. Always responsive and helpful.”
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.
