About Chimene

My professional and personal background shapes my practical and strategic approach to family law, with experience that ensures I can assist in all areas of pre- and post-separation. I understand that separation and family breakdown can be among the most challenging experiences that my clients and their families will face, and I am committed to providing clear advice and steady guidance throughout the process. As a busy mother with a growing family of my own, I have an even greater appreciation of the importance of protecting children from unnecessary conflict and preserving family relationships wherever possible. I work closely and compassionately with you to understand not only your legal position, but also what matters most to you and your family, while remaining focused on achieving sensible and commercial outcomes. I set clear and realistic expectations that allow you to confidently make informed decisions to move forward into your new life. Outside of work, life is happily full. I enjoy spending time with my family, our Labrador and our cat, and taking every opportunity to escape to the countryside for a relaxed camping trip.
