I am a senior Court of Protection practitioner specialising in the management of high value financial settlements and complex applications to the Court of Protection. The majority of my clients have suffered a catastrophic event in their lives and have sustained a brain injury. I act for clients from the very young to those later in life.I am an experienced professional Deputy leading complex projects for clients around the construction and adaptation of properties, the employment of large care teams and investment of settlement monies with financial experts – amongst other roles. My practice includes complex applications to the Court of Protection to help facilitate clients live their fullest and happiest lives. This can include typical issues such as Statutory Wills or Gifting applications, to the more esoteric such as capacity to engage in sex, contact with others, social media and the internet. My experience also includes cross-jurisdictional capacity work as well as complex multi-layered capacity issues, for these with fluctuating and variable capacity. The uniqueness of my clients circumstances often means that my practice is at the forefront of developments in mental capacity law. I have a specialism in dealing with capacity issues for HNW clients, bringing together my 'Private Client' expertise with my Court of Protection practice. I am STEP qualified with a background as a Private Client partner with expertise in Wills / Trusts / Estates and Property Law. I am also a committee member of the Court of Protection Practitioners Association 'COPPA' (south-central) working with others across the profession to share knowledge and best practice amongst fellow practitioners. Ultimately, my job is to help people lead their fullest lives in whatever way I can assist, and it is a privilege and joy to do so. If you feel that I may able to assist please do not hesitate to get in touch.
