About Steph
I qualified as a Solicitor in 2021. I now deal with both financial matters and those involving children. My time as a trainee convinced me that I wanted to practise family law, and I have spent my whole career doing this. I have worked closely since then with Katie.
I want to get the best outcome for clients, through negotiation, mediation or court proceedings. I listen to clients and find a solution which fits. Emotions can be high in our work, and I will bring a level headed pragmatism and empathy into all elements of your case.
I graduated from University College London, with an Msc in Earth Science. I am also a member of Resolution, a leading organisation of family lawyers.

What our clients say
I just want to say a massive thank you to Steph and Katie for working with me to help resolve the matters of dispute with my ex-partner. They were both very understanding and professional but most importantly, helpful, in bringing a 7 year dispute to an abrupt end within a month. The advice they continue to give me is invaluable. I got to see my son for the first time on Xmas day in 10 years!!
I would highly recommend Katie and Steph for any family law dispute. Not only have they been consummate professionals, guiding me through the complex nature of a separation but also holding my hand through the emotional process and showing great empathy to my situation. These lawyers should be on your speed dial.
I would recommend the practice wholeheartedly. Katie has put together a phenomenal team. Humanity and empathy come through despite the really toxic circumstances in which I find myself. And, the legal advice and support from the team – whether researching unusual precedents or providing strong counter-arguments continues to be my backbone through this time.
