Nicole is an associate solicitor and mediator at Family Law in Partnership. She handles all aspects of private family law, assisting and supporting clients who are navigating divorce or separation to resolve any financial or children issues that may arise. Nicole combines a warm, sympathetic manner with tactical nous and incisive judgment.

Nicole’s cases have involved a wide range of issues, and regardless of the subject matter, one constant feature across all of Nicole’s cases is how much better clients feel for having her at their side, with one remarking: “Your advice and counsel has been nothing short of excellent” and another commenting: “Nicole was the very best I could have hoped for in navigating my divorce. As a lawyer myself, I have very high standards – but I was really impressed. Nicole listened carefully, was soon across all the detail and steered me through the whole process, including some rather tricky financial issues, showing real maturity and emotional intelligence. I would totally recommend Nicole to anyone going through a divorce”.

Nicole is also a family mediator and a strong proponent of what mediation can offer clients, namely a humane, swift and cost-effective means of resolving family disputes by reducing conflict. Nicole is available to conduct mediations either online or in person, for both children and financial issues.

Nicole was named as a Rising Star and recommended for family law in the 2022, 2021 and 2020 editions of The Legal 500 UK with the editorial noting: “Nicole Phillips is a real rising star. Nicole is commercially savvy and completely at home with complex business cases. She reads accounts and can manage the most complicated figures with aplomb. Don’t be misled by her youth and charm: she knows what she is doing”. Nicole was also shortlisted for the award Family Law Young Solicitor of the Year in the prestigious LexisNexis Family Law Awards 2018.

Nicole has a strong interest in alternative dispute resolution and in working closely with other professionals such as family consultants and therapists to achieve a successful outcome for her clients. Her interest in holistic support is just one reason why she was elected to Resolution’s Innovation Committee (a national organisation of family lawyers with over 6,000 members), developing tools and business methods to benefit the whole membership and, by extension, the family law industry as a whole.

Nicole has presented and published articles across a wide range of family law topics, including on post-nuptial agreements and Part III of the Matrimonial & Family Proceedings Act 1984. She was quoted extensively in Citywealth Weekly (May 2018) in an article titled Family: Transgender & the Law
