Legal Services
Family Law
Nikki was previously a Legal Director at the highly regarded national firm Shakespeare Martineau, where she developed a significant following and became known for her friendly approach, yet pragmatic and ‘no nonsense’ advice.
Nikki advised a client in court proceedings which dealt with the finances following his divorce, defeating claims from his ex-wife, and preserving his significant business interests.
She also secured a capitalised lump sum order and clean break for a client who had a significant level of income thus releasing him from any ongoing or future obligations to his ex-wife.
Nikki deals frequently with cases upwards of £5m and works closely with her trusted professional network of advisers who include wealth planners, financial advisors, accountants and also life coaches/counsellors.
She gives her clients personal support throughout the legal process and offers a wraparound holistic service which she hopes enables them to move on to the next chapter of their lives.
