About Nick
Nick has approaching 30 years of experience in family law and acts for both private individuals as well as business owners. Much of his work comes from recommendation including having acted for the other party in previous court proceedings.
He adopts a constructive and collaborative approach to cases including, where appropriate, suggesting a range of dispute resolution options for clients. However, where court proceedings are necessary, he will not hesitate to make any appropriate application to the court, including in cases of urgency and need.
He also advises clients in protecting their position and/assets prior to, or during, any relationship with the aim of limiting any difficulties should the relationship break down and reducing likely future costs of litigation.
Nick has a network of other experts to help clients in family law disputes including in court proceedings.
