SRA ID: 651045
I am a solicitor in the Family Team at Birkett Long in the Colchester office. I specialise in divorce/dissolution, financial, and children cases. I am also experienced in cohabitee disputes, pre-and post-nuptial agreements, and injunctions. I enjoy helping people through difficult periods in their lives so that they can plan for the future and achieve certainty. I give my advice in a straightforward and clear way, and I strive to achieve the best possible result for clients. I am a member of Resolution, an association of family lawyers who aim to resolve disputes in a constructive way that reduces conflict, together with offering practical solutions. I studied Law at the University of Leeds, achieving a First Class Honours degree. I then undertook my Legal Practice Course (LPC) at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, where I gained a distinction and the following awards. Thomas Reuters Law Prize: most outstanding performance in stage 2 of the LPC. The Cambridgeshire and District Law Society Prize: Best overall performance for compulsory LPC subjects. Cambridge and West Suffolk Resolution Prize: Student with the best mark in the Family Law Elective on the LPC. I qualified as a Solicitor in 2020 and specialised in Family Law six months before qualifying. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I particularly enjoy long walks with my dog or riding my bicycle through the Essex countryside. I also like to be creative by painting and drawing.

I had a really good experience with Katherine. She was clear concise and gave me excellent advice. I felt I had all the information that I required to aid me in my next steps through the divorce process. Her advice enabled me to understand the process in greater depth which gave me more confidence.
