I studied at Jesus College, Oxford, and the University of the West of England before joining Burges Salmon in 2003 where I subsequently qualified as a Solicitor.
I joined Goughs in April 2015, was made a Partner in 2016, and am Head of the Family department.
I am an experienced family law specialist and advise a wide range of clients, both married and unmarried, on the implications of relationship breakdown. Typically my cases involve complex issues, and I specialise in matters which involve Trusts, pensions, and business structures. A large proportion of my work involves marital agreements, which include pre and post nuptial agreements, separation agreements, and cohabitation agreements.

I am proud to be the head of Goughs’ Agriculture and Rural Land team, a group of legal experts who work together to advise members of the agricultural community on their legal needs.
Like many people, coping with a mix of work and homeschooling during a global pandemic will be hard to forget. I will always be proud of the way that my family and I, and those who I work with, have faced the challenges and continue to come together to work through it.
Being listed once again as a ‘Key Lawyer’ by Legal 500 2024 and a Band 1 Family lawyer by Chambers & Partners, is a great professional achievement.
Recommended by Chambers & Partners 2024 who rank me as a Band 1 lawyer who is a “specialist in complex and high-value matters” and “has great technical ability.”
Recommended by the Legal 500 UK, who note I have “long standing experience dealing with complex litigation,” (Legal 500, 2023) and that I contribute my “city experience and expertise without any form of arrogance” (Legal 500, 2022).
I am supported by a fantastic team of people, primarily my assistant Sabine Hussey, whose contact email is sabinehussey@goughs.co.uk.
“Sabine was excellent throughout.”
Goughs is very much a community of like-minded people who are committed to providing excellent service for our clients.
