Katie Chew
Senior Associate
"Clear legal advice, common sense and emotional understanding"
"Extremely professional and thorough"
Katie’s practice covers all aspects of the financial issues following from divorce or separation. She works with both married and unmarried couples and with high net worth individuals as well as those with more modest assets. Her work involves complex issues such as trusts, undisclosed and offshore assets. She also advises clients in relation to pre and post nuptial agreements and works extensively in multi- jurisdictional cases.
She has wide expertise dealing with complex issues concerning children, including cases involving parental alienation and those in which there have been significant welfare issues and allegations of harm. She is regularly involved with cases in which domestic abuse and challenging behaviour are factors and works sensitively with vulnerable clients, with an awareness of the nuances which often characterise these relationships.
Katie has been working exclusively in family law since 2011. She qualified in 2015 and worked at highly regarded London and regional family law firms before joining us. She is a member of Resolution.
