Practice Areas

Nicholas is an experienced family barrister. He was in independent practice at Queen Elizabeth Building for 8 years and draws on his experience at the Bar to provide clients with a unique perspective. He has been a partner since April 2013.

Nicholas specialises in dealing with the financial consequences of relationship breakdown. He is particularly experienced in dealing with cases involving substantial assets/income, trusts or complex asset-holding structures. Nicholas’ work often involves cases with an international element. Nicholas also has significant experience of drafting nuptial agreements.

Nicholas represents a wide variety of clients, including many UHNW individuals and those in the public-eye. Nicholas strikes the balance between defending his clients’ interests robustly – whilst being mindful of the significant financial (and emotional) costs of litigation.

Stewart Leech KC describes Nicholas as follows:

“He is an exceptionally gifted family lawyer and his experience on both sides of the legal profession gives him the cutting edge. He is easily one of the best, if not the best, of his generation.”
