I am a Family lawyer. I am accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a Mediator and also a Child Law specialist. I am also collaboratively trained. I have represented clients in court over the years since I qualified in 2007. I have often witnessed the negative impact that court action can have on separated individuals and their families. I regularly encourage my own clients to consider mediation having seen the benefits that it can have. I became a Mediator to help separated couples work together to try to resolve their difficulties, to reach their goals in terms of any financial matters. and where applicable the care arrangements for their children, as amicably and as efficiently as possible.
