Katie’s high-profile practice has gone from strength to strength since taking Silk in March 2019. She was awarded “Family Silk of the Year” by Chambers & Partners in November 2022.
Katie is instructed to appear in complicated international cases, involving corporate, trusts and tax issues. She specialises in jurisdictional disputes, financial applications on divorce and civil partnership dissolution, financial claims after overseas divorces (Part III MFPA 1984), and Children Act Schedule 1 financial applications for unmarried parents.
