Zara has a diverse and growing private law practice. She receives instructions acting on behalf of parents, children (through their FPR 16.4 Guardian) as well as extended family members in all private family law proceedings, including matters that involve:
- allegations of parental alienation and implacable hostility
- allegations of domestic (physical and sexual) violence
- alleged substance (drug and alcohol) misuse.
Zara is popular with both solicitors and clients and is regularly instructed to appear at directions hearings, final hearings and fact-finding hearings.
Zara has particular experience dealing with a range of private family law matters, including:
- Child Arrangements Orders
- Applications to vary a Child Arrangements Order
- Specific Issue Orders
- Special Guardianship Orders
- Prohibited Steps Orders
- Non-Molestation Orders
Zara accepts instructions in all private law children matters and is actively seeking to develop her practice in this field commensurate to her year of call.
