✨ At the #weekend I went to see Six at the theatre, and it was absolutely fantastic! 👑🎭

The #production was a brilliant celebration of female power, giving each of Henry VIII’s six wives the chance to tell her own story in a bold, modern, and empowering way.

#Cryptocurrency is no longer a niche issue in divorce, it’s becoming a regular feature in financial cases.

In my latest #blog, I explore how #courts in England and Wales approach crypto in divorce, and what both clients and advisers should be aware of.

Real pleasure to meet and chat with Kerry Lawlor, who generously shared her invaluable wisdom and experience on burnout, compassion fatigue, and the importance of reflective practice.

Over a week ago now but wow — what a day!

Over 350 people came together for the Lester Aldridge firm strategy day launch on Thursday, and one message stood out above all: “We decide where we go with this firm. We decide together.”

That’s what makes LA special… cont ⬇️

This episode does come with a trigger arming.

It was an honour to share the platform with these three powerhouses. Proud of the connections I’ve made in the family law world.

What a fantastic day at the 1HC Annual Seminar. Celebrating 20 years of their seminars, and also I realised it’s 20 years since I qualified as a solicitor (in October) which made it even more special.

Lovely evening catching up with Julie New. Julie is a talented #author (her books are pictured), and it was such a joy to have a deep #conversation about #life — its fragility, its beauty, and the question of who are the flowers in your own garden.

A truly wonderful evening.

Yesterday was such a great day — a full day of a private client partners’ strategy meeting followed by a lovely private client partners’ dinner.
It was wonderful catching up with everyone & aligning our vision for the firm.

Thursday was my first time attending the Lester Aldridge ‘Happy Hour’ at the London office, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Such a great atmosphere, amazing energy, and so many lovely people all in one room.
