What can I do for you

Naomi is a family law specialist. As part of the nationally recognised leading family law team at Mills & Reeve, her work includes advising on complex financial issues arising out of divorce and separation. She advises on areas of wealth protection including pre and post marital agreements and cohabitation agreements and, also, on all areas of private children law.

What do others say

A former client who achieved a successful settlement following protracted court proceedings conveyed that Naomi is very personable and provides clear and effective communication. The client said “I always felt calmed and reassured whenever I spoke with Naomi. She was practical and clear.”

Supporting your ambitions

Naomi distils her client’s objectives early on and advises throughout her instruction with a resolution-focus. She provides commercial and strategic advice, often working closely with her colleagues specialising in private wealth (tax and trusts), on the treatment of family businesses, farms, trusts and pensions on divorce. She will keep her client’s desired resolution her focus; recently she achieved a successful financial settlement for her client (wife) of a high net-worth asset base which comprised several owner-managed family companies and international property. By reaching settlement, the cost and distress of a seven-day final court hearing was avoided.

What else should you know?

Naomi is a regular author of family law articles and case law updates for the national publications Private Client Business and Family Law Week. Both publications are frequently referred to by other leading private wealth and family law practitioners.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
