Kate is an Associate in the Family Department.
Kate advises clients in relation to a wide range of family law matters arising in contemplation of marriage, on divorce or dissolution, and in relation to cohabitation. This includes complex financial remedy proceedings, children matters, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements. As well as advising clients in contested proceedings, Kate also advises clients in more consensual cases which merit non-court dispute resolution. Her cases often involve complex asset structures and have multi-jurisdictional elements.
Kate read Law at Durham University as an undergraduate, and she went on to gain a Masters of Law, specialising in commercial and company Law. Kate completed her training contract with Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, one of the world’s leading international commercial law firms, and qualified as a solicitor in 2020. Kate draws upon her knowledge of commercial and company law to assist clients with family law matters.
Kate joined Payne Hicks Beach in 2024.
