Family Law Specialist
Add to My TeamSimon practices exclusively in family law; predominantly in the law of financial remedies following the breakdown of marriage but also in cohabitation disputes, schedule 1 claims and inheritance actions.
Simon is one of very few counsel who are members of both the Family Law Bar Association and the Chancery Bar. Consequently, in addition to more straightforward claims, he is at home dealing with complex financial remedy claims involving companies, business assets, farms and trusts.
Simon also accepts public access work and sits as a mediator and a private FDR judge.
Simon has taken part in various cases, involving high profile clients where he had to advise and represent the son of deceased iconic UK celebrity in a case where the wife was seeking to attack the family trusts as a resource of her husband, and other cases where he had to advise and represent a former minister of state of an African country in ancillary relief proceedings;
Prior to specialising exclusively in family law, Simon had a mixed practice which included advising in the Dorothea Allen intestacy (one of the largest ever intestate estates), representing well-known boxing promoters on a number of cases (both in the High Court and in front of the British Boxing Board of Control), Apple Corps Ltd v Cooper [1993]
Simon has a particular interest in the international elements of family law insofar as they relate to marriage, divorce and financial claims. Since 2018, he has been writing on the subject for Resolution with articles appearing in ‘The Review’
