Corinne has been advising clients on family law matters for over 20 years and has particular expertise in applications under the Children Act 1989, complex financial applications upon divorce, and issues involving cohabiting couples. She also regularly advises on the completion of pre-/post-nuptial agreements.
Much of Corinne’s work involves an international element, including relocation of children to another jurisdiction or foreign assets upon divorce.
Corinne frequently works alongside a variety of other professionals including financial advisers, pension specialists and therapists to ensure clients are fully supported during and, perhaps even more essentially, after the case has concluded.
Additionally, Corinne is a collaboratively trained lawyer and an active member of the central London “We Can Work It Out” POD group.
Corinne handled my case from start to finish with the upmost professionalism. She showed compassion, kindness, sensitivity and gave me strength in a very challenging time in my life. She gave me sound advice and I trusted her wholeheartedly.
Corinne dealt with my complex divorce and financial application with real expertise and confidence. I felt supported throughout the proceedings and had access to the best possible advice. I cannot thank Corinne enough.
