Recent Successes

1. I advised a client in relation to a financial settlement, after I discovered that her husband had sold a property they had purchased in the course of their marriage, without consulting or informing her. He husband then used a large proportion of the sale proceeds and gave them to his friends and family members, who he claimed he was in debt too. Negotiations commenced, but offers put forward by the Husband were derisory and unfair. Court proceedings were then initiated. The Judge indicated in court that my client had a right to be suspicious about the husband's claims and warned the husband to settle. Shortly after the husband made a more advantageous offer and a settlement was reached and my client pleased.
   
   
2. I advised a client in relation to her child abduction matter in the High Court. Following the High Court proceedings, her application for her daughters to reside with her was considered and ordered, securing their residence with her.
   
   
3. I advised a client regarding a seperation agreement him and his wife entered into after their seperation. The agreement left my client with virtually nothing, however his Wife sought to rely on the agreement and that it should be upheld in their financial matter proceedings. I drafted a statement highlighting why the seperation agreement should not be relied on. The Judge agreed the seperation agreement should not be able to be relied upon.
   
   
4. I advised a client on his seperation from his wife. They had assets of approximately £1.6 million between them. A settlement was reached amicably and fairly without the need to initiate court proceedings.
