Skills

Mediation – I trained as a Family Mediator in 1999 and now carry out mediation work for Devon Family Solutions Ltd based in Exeter.  I carry out mediations predominantly from our Torquay or Newton Abbot offices, meeting with separating couples to help them resolve financial or children issues between them.

Collaborative Law – I am now a trained Collaborative Lawyer.  I enjoy a good rapport with other solicitors locally which enables me to work together with them and their clients.  The Collaborative Law process involves round table meetings with clients to help them resolve their issues with legal advice and support alongside.

Court Work –I represent clients at Court at many preliminary Hearings.  I have good working relationships with Barristers who might be needed for advice or representation.
