I am a family lawyer, mediator and collaborative practitioner, dual-qualified in Australian and English law, with over 12 years' post-qualification experience in complex, high-value and cross-border family matters. I am a partner at Pearson Emerson, a top tier ranked firm in Sydney, having previously spent a decade as a Director at Family Law in Partnership, one of London's top tier specialist family firms.
My practice encompasses financial settlements involving business interests, trusts, superannuation and multi-jurisdictional assets, nuptial and binding financial agreements, asset protection, parenting arrangements and international child relocation and abduction. A significant proportion of my clients are international, with particular connections to England, France and Europe, and I am fluent in French, enabling me to advise clients in their own language. I am an accredited family mediator and qualified collaborative practitioner in Australia and England, committed to alternative dispute resolution as a primary pathway for resolving family disputes.
I am ranked in the UK directories: Legal 500 , Chambers & Partners High Net Worth Guide (noting my ranking in its mediator spotlight table) and the Spear's Family Law Index.
