Sharon Powell

Partner, Head of Family

Sharon has over 20 years experience in all aspects of family law and in particular the financial aspects of high value divorces. Sharon is a trained collaborative lawyer and she is particularly experienced in dealing with couples who have assets abroad. She is a Resolution Accredited Specialist and qualified in mediation and collaborative family law. “A break up of a relationship is very sad for everyone concerned” says Sharon. “I believe that our role is to try and help both parties reach a solution which they are both happy with. When feelings are running high this can sometimes be difficult but I believe we can make a difference”. Sharon is often thanked by her clients for her sympathetic and supportive approach through a traumatic time in their lives. Her most memorable case was in a divorce where financial matters involving significant assets were resolved amicably yet parties persisted to argue about kitchen utensils! Sharon qualified as a solicitor in 1986 and joined Hart Brown in 2007 becoming a partner a few months later.
