Senior Chartered Legal Executive
Sofie and her team offered a huge amount of support and guidance throughout my recent work with them.
The expertise they have demonstrated throughout the process have made a difficult situation much easier to navigate.
Thank you! - TL (Google Reviews)
Sofie qualified as a lawyer in 2011 through the Chartered Legal Executive route, which means she specialised in family law from the outset.
She’s highly experience in all aspects of family law. One of her main areas of practice is divorce and sorting out the matrimonial finances as part of the divorce proceedings.
Her other area of focus is child law. She has obtained a number of child arrangements orders, and prohibited steps orders, to protect the best interests of the children on her matters. As part of that specialism, she has experience in drafting parental agreements and apportioning parental responsibility fairly in the circumstances.
Sofie has also been successful in obtaining non-molestation orders in domestic abuse matters and finding secure legal protection for victims of domestic abuse.
Some matters require an assertive stance, while others are resolved through a more conciliatory approach. Sofie adapts her style to the situation and the personalities in the case.
However, as a member of Resolution, she prefers to take the most constructive approach when it comes to family disputes. She follows their Code of Practice that promotes a non-confrontational approach to family problems and encourages the parties to consider the best interests of the children.
Sofie was part of the team that started the Oxford office from scratch. The office is growing and thriving, and as an emerging leader in the firm, Sofie supports her colleagues to progress in their careers. She mentors junior colleagues, building their confidence and their legal skills to become future leaders in the business themselves.
Sofie is based at our Oxford office.
