Work highlights

  • Advising on a prenuptial agreement for a client worth in excess of £100m+. The matter involved various cross-border issues and as with any prenuptial agreement, required detailed consideration and delicate handling.
  • Advising a client in relation to divorce and financial remedy proceedings, following a short and childless marriage, in which we reached a very satisfactory settlement following a private financial dispute resolution hearing.

Qualification date: 1992
