She frequently acts for high net worth individuals in financial relief and divorce proceedings as well as acting in children matters. Examples of her work include:

- Obtaining civil protective injunctions on behalf of a wife, who had been subjected to physical and emotional abuse throughout the marriage, to oust the husband from the family home and ensure the safety of her and the children.
- Negotiating an out of court settlement in favour of an unmarried client regarding the beneficial ownership of a high-value property.
