Family Law

Biography

I am a Solicitor within the Family department at Tees, based at the Bishop’s Stortford office. I manage my own caseload whilst also working closely with the Head of the Family department, Sally Powell, on complex and high-value cases. I advise and represent clients on a broad range of family law matters, including divorce and financial settlements, cohabitation disputes, child arrangements, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements.

As a proud member of Resolution, I adopt a constructive and solution-focused approach, always seeking to minimise conflict wherever possible. My ethos, shaped by my invaluable family law experience in Hong Kong is simple: “the client is king, and communication is gold.” I place my clients’ needs at the heart of everything I do.

Delivering what you really need

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

  • Delivering practical, tailored advice to achieve the best outcomes
  • Ensuring clear communication and cost transparency throughout your case
  • Drawing on Tees’ multi-disciplinary expertise, including our in-house wealth team, to deliver holistic advice tailored to each client’s needs

What client’s say about me

My clients value my professionalism, strategic guidance, and unwavering support throughout their legal journey. Some of the feedback I’ve received includes:

  • “From the very first call to the successful resolution of my case, I felt fully supported and informed. Mark was thorough, professional, and exceeded my expectations at every stage.”

  • “The transparency on fees, the regular communication, and your ability to unravel a tricky situation were outstanding. I couldn’t have asked for better support.”
  • “It has been a long and emotional journey, but your care, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the right outcome were exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and Tees.”
  • “I cannot thank you enough for your dedication and expertise. You navigated a complex and emotional situation with kindness and clarity, and I genuinely felt in safe hands throughout.”

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, Lincoln’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, providing emergency first aid before an ambulance arrives.
