Bury - Head Office

I am a Partner and Head of the Family Department.

I qualified as a Solicitor in 2000, having trained in Newcastle Upon Tyne before returning to the North West to practise at a well-established high street firm. I joined AST Hampsons in 2013, was appointed Head of the Family Department in December 2017 and became a Partner in 2020.


I advise on all aspects of family law, including relationship breakdown, complex financial remedy proceedings, arrangements for children, pre- and post-nuptial agreements and cohabitation matters. I have particular expertise in resolving complex financial issues arising from relationship breakdown and in cases involving arrangements for children.


I enjoy advocacy and regularly represent clients in court. I combine clear, pragmatic legal advice with a supportive and personable approach, helping clients navigate what can often be difficult and complex circumstances.


I am a member of the Law Society Family Law Panel and Resolution.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going to the theatre and spending time with family and friends.
