She been involved in a number of reported cases involving alleged, serious non-disclosure, including D v D [2015] EWHC 1393 (Fam) and M v M [2014] 1 FLR 439, which was at the time the largest financial remedy award ever made following contested proceedings.

Juliet’s private law children practice is wide-ranging.
