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:

Aswini successfully argued that the children should live with the wife and that the husband should provide her with sufficient capital and maintenance.
- Representing a successful businessman in financial proceedings on divorce, preserving his business, which he had built up over many years and securing his interest in the family home as well as an investment property.
- 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.
