Finding a fair and cost-effective family solution through arbitration
Tim* came to Tees for advice after his former partner, Betty*, made an application under Schedule 1 of the Children
I joined Tees in 2022, having previously been a Partner at a national niche family law firm. Having qualified in 2013, I have well over a decade of experience in family law, much of which has been working in my hometown of Hertfordshire. I have been a member of Resolution since qualifying.
I specialise in financial disputes arising from relationship breakdown. This includes both financial remedy disputes relating to divorce, and Schedule 1 children act disputes relating to separating cohabitants. I have a particular interest in financial disputes with agricultural or farming backgrounds.
In addition, I regularly advise on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and disputes regarding arrangements for children.

Where possible, I try to resolve disputes efficiently and cost effectively- I approach issues with a commercial mind. Often, this means I advise non-court based solutions.
