Vikkie handles a range of family law cases, including complex financial proceedings frequently involving family trusts, significant business structures and forensic disclosure requests. She specialises in pre- and post- nuptial agreements for a range of clients from all walks of life, often for high net worth clients with a focus on sports personalities and their families. She has written articles about prenuptial agreements for both Resolution and the Family Law Journal and keeps up to date with developments in this area.
She also has a wealth of experience in private children law matters, particularly those involving allegations of domestic violence and abuse. She is adept at managing cases where the other party involved is particularly intransigent and acting in person, which can often escalate the temperature of the matter. However, she is committed to resolving issues quickly and as amicably as possible.
One of Vikkie’s recent cases included a successful application to the Court of Appeal in Cazalet v Abu-Zalaf [2023] EWCA Civ 1065 which involved in depth discussions about what amounts to a reconciliation in the context of divorce proceedings.
She was highly commended as ‘one to watch’ at the British Family Law Awards 2024 and was shortlisted for ‘Family Law Young Solicitor of the Year’ at the Family Law Awards 2022.
Vikkie is a member of Resolution, a national member organisation for family lawyers, and previously sat on their South West London committee, acting as their Press Officer and helping to organise events and seminars. She has also previously volunteered at the Peckham Citizens Advice Bureau and was a member of Law for Life’s Advice Now service who provide low-cost legal advice to those who need it.
Vikkie studied Law at the University of Surrey and graduated in 2013 before completing the Legal Practice Course at BPP in Holborn. She joined Burgess Mee as a newly qualified solicitor in February 2018 after completing her training at a boutique firm in North London. She was promoted to Associate in July 2021.
