Mark Chiverton

Solicitor

Family Law

Biography

I am a Solicitor within the Family department at Teesโ€™ based at the Bishopโ€™s Stortford office.ย In addition to having my own caseload, I also work closely with the Head of the Family department,ย Sally Powell,ย on a number of challenging and complex cases. I advise and represent clients on a broad spectrum of family matters, including, but not limited to, divorce and finances, cohabitation matters, and child arrangements. I also assist with pre- and post-nuptialย agreements.

As a member ofย Resolutionย I will always adopt a constructive and amicable approach where possible, and put the needs of my clients at the focus of all I do. My ethos, I adopt towards my clientโ€™s stems from my invaluable Family law experience in Hong Kong, which is: โ€˜the client is king and communication is goldโ€™.

Delivering what you really need

I strive to provide exceptional client care. I achieve this by:

  • ensuring each individual case is conducted in a cost-effective and time-efficient way
  • ensuring that communication is key throughout the duration of my clientโ€™s cases
  • ensuring that legal costs are transparent from the outset and throughout
  • being closely supported by Elaine Brown, Client Care Manager, who is on hand to deal with any administrative (non-legal issues) throughout your case
  • adopting a multi-team approach to your case, in particular Teesโ€™ wealth management financial advisers, in particular,ย Daniel Bowen, who frequently provides specialist pension and financial advice to my clientโ€™s, during the course of their case

Further information

I studied Law at the University of Surrey and undertook a Professional Training Year, where I worked at a fast paced law firm in central Hong Kong and at the Intellectual Property Institute, Lincolnโ€™s Inn Fields, London, working alongside Lord Hoffmann and Professor Johanna Gibson. Thereafter, I attended the University of Law in London to complete the Legal Practice Course, before undertaking my training contract at a leading regional firm and qualifying as a Solicitor in 2017. I then joined Tees in late November 2020.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I qualified and trained with the East of England Ambulance Service to be a volunteer Community First Responder. In my spare time, I continue to attend life threatening emergencies in my local community, with the aim to provide emergency first aid before an ambulance arrives.
