She is recognised as a <em>\u201cRecommended Lawyer\u201d<\/em> by The Legal 500 2026 and is winner of the Gold award in the Citywealth Future Leaders List &#8211; Family Law Associate of the Year 2024.<\/strong> <strong>She was promoted to partner in 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kate advises on all issues relating to relationship breakdown: divorce, cohabitation and applications for financial remedy following divorce, as well as complex children related matters including domestic child arrangement disputes and international and domestic child relocation. Much of Kate\u2019s work has an international element. Her broad practice means that she regularly acts for clients in relation to all of the issues they encounter following relationship breakdown, providing continuity as well as expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At just one year qualified, Kate was one of four finalists shortlisted for the Family Law Awards 2020 Young Solicitor of the Year. Since that early achievement, she has acted for clients and assisted on several reported cases including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a multijurisdictional case in the UK Supreme Court and Court of Appeal; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a multi-week High Court fact-finding and welfare case concerning allegations of attempted murder, child sexual abuse and trafficking, across two jurisdictions; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>complex financial remedy cases involving trust assets; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and, high value finance cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Kate devotes herself to pro bono work. Every week she volunteers at Islington Legal Advice Centre. She is also a member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cwhls.org.uk\/\">Westminster &amp; Holborn Law Society<\/a>, being the past Chair of its Equality Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and she is a member of <a href=\"https:\/\/resolution.org.uk\/\">Resolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kate speaks, reads and writes German, a country in which she has lived, worked and studied. Consequently, she has a particular interest in cases with a German dimension, and often uses her language skills to assist her international clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has an Upper Second degree in Law with German from the University of Sheffield, as part of which she spent a year studying the German legal system at Freie Universit\u00e4t in Berlin. Kate completed the accelerated Legal Practice Course at the University of Law achieving a Distinction and attaining Master of Laws (LLM) also with a Distinction. Kate spent a year in Potsdam working for the British Council and teaching English to aspiring legal and business executives at college. During this year, Kate gained experience working in a German law firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Described as &#8220;exceptionally excellent&#8221;
