Hilary Pennington-Mellor bringing a wealth of experience and broad ranging skills.
Hilary advises on all aspects of family law, guiding clients to the best outcomes. When representing clients in separation, divorce and related matters, Hilary can advise on financial settlement agreements as well as child related matters.
Whilst maintaining focus on specific matters to be resolved, Hilary is careful to consider the collateral consequences of separation and agreements reached, and the need to look at the bigger picture in respect of each individual’s life choices and ambitions, when making final decisions. Where appropriate, and to avoid the court arena, she advocates alternative methods of dispute resolution, including Mediation, Round Table Meetings and private FDRs. Hilary is also a qualified FMA Family Mediator.
Hilary has extensive experience of advising high net worth individuals, and those with media exposure, in their divorce, annulment and related family issues, including negotiation of complex financial settlements. Her work frequently involves clients from other jurisdictions, and non-domiciled UK residents.
As well as advising clients at the end of a relationship, she undertakes negotiation and advice in relation to prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, advising parties, their wider family, trustees, and considering the interests of the parties’ respective investments and fellow investors looking for suitable agreement. Hilary works with lawyers and other professionals in Europe and worldwide, matching skills and expertise with the needs of the clients.
