Consultancy for Family Law Professionals

I offer a limited consultancy to a small number of family law professionals, firms, and chambers seeking to operate at the very top end of the market.

Over a career spanning more than 30 years, I have worked at the forefront of family law—leading departments, managing firms at board level, and shaping high-performing teams.

I have been consistently recognised as a leading individual by Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for over two decades.

Working Together

Practical Approach. Flexible Engagement.

Approach
My consultancy is bespoke, discreet and commercially focused. I work closely with clients to deliver clear, practical strategies grounded in 30 years experience at the highest level of the profession.

Engagements are tailored to the specific objectives of each client, whether that involves a focused piece of advice or ongoing strategic input.

Fees
Fees are agreed depending on the nature and scope of the engagement, typically on an hourly, daily, or project basis.

I am happy to have an initial, confidential discussion without obligation. No fees are incurred until terms are agreed.
