I work exclusively in Family Law and have been assisting families in Aberdeen for over 25 years with the difficulties which arise from the breakup of relationships. I have extensive experience in wide range of family cases from complex financial negotiations to those involving children. I am passionate about achieving the best outcome for my clients and ensuring that the interests of any children are a priority. Whilst court action will be appropriate at times and I have gained a great deal of knowledge and experience in representing clients at court, I feel that there is now, more so than ever, a place for alternative ways of resolving disputes such as mediation, collaboration and arbitration that give greater control to clients in securing an outcome that works for them and their family as a whole. I feel it is vital that clients are afforded a way to deal with separation with dignity, minimising conflict and the potential for negative impact on their children and the wider family unit. Separation is stressful and difficult time, mediation can allows families to achieve fair, long lasting solutions tailored to their best interests.
