Expertise

Elise now specialises in complex financial cases of marriage breakdown involving clients with extensive assets, including businesses, farming partnerships and pensions.

In addition, she deals with contested court proceedings involving local authorities and children, including cases involving non-accidental injuries.

Notable Family cases


  • Care Proceedings

    Acting for a mother in a complex case involving multiple parties, including a five-day finding of fact. At the conclusion of the proceedings, all the children were returned to their mother’s care.

  • Divorce & Finances

    Resolving a case involving a substantial public sector pension and properties in the UK and abroad. The matrimonial assets were equally divided, but Elise was able to retain the majority of the non-matrimonial assets. This was important to the client as it was feared that inherited assets would have to be divided equally with the other spouse.
