Helen Fisher

I advise in relation to relationship planning and relationship breakdown. I regularly advise clients in relation to pre or post nuptial agreements, focusing on the safeguarding of wealth or family assets on marriage. I specialise in advising high net worth clients on all matters surrounding separation or divorce.

I am well regarded for my advice on disputes in respect of the care or education arrangements for children. I have experience advising clients in complex children disputes, involving allegations of harm and parental alienation, or involving relocation overseas.

I am pragmatic in the advice which I give to my clients. I aim to achieve the best possible outcome for them and help them plan for the future. I will set out advice clearly and in a way that is easy to comprehend.

I understand that instructing a family lawyer is often a stressful experience, and am attentive and receptive to each client’s individual needs and tailor the process to suit them.

I endeavour to seek resolution of a client’s case by non-court means, where possible, and adopt a conciliatory approach. I will not hesitate, however, to recommend a court application where this is required or is in a client’s best interests.

I am ranked in the leading legal directory, Chambers and Partners 2024.
