Simon is Head of the Banbury Family Department. He specialises in financial provision on divorce, especially farming/complex disputes involving assets such as businesses.
Simon is a trained collaborative family lawyer. He is also an International Hague Convention panel lawyer.
It is very interesting as such hearings take place in the High Court in London. They are swift and very challenging especially having to understand the need for different culture values.
In 2009, Simon spoke at the International Conference in Italy which dealt with International approaches to children and their vulnerabilities, lecturing in his specialism of International Child Abduction; his paper examined the approach of the British and the Australian legal systems in respect of the relocation of children from one country to another. The conference was attended by over 200 delegates including Judges from around the world.
Simon is a Resolution Accredited Specialist, a Law Society Children Panel Lawyer, a Resolution trained Mediator, a Collaborative Lawyer and also a Child Abduction Ministry of Justice Panel Lawyer.
A recent High Court Child Abduction case has been discussed at parliament question time.
Simon is married with two children and lives in Rugby. He is a trustee of his daughter’s school PTA and in his spare time likes to run and play golf. His sporting tastes are, however, dubious as he is an avid Leeds United fan.
