Senior Partner
Mercy works closely with the wider team at Mercy Messenger, overseeing all cases dealt with in the firm, and ensuring that she is the first point of contact for new clients.
Having developed a vocation for family law, Mercy set up her own firm specialising in all areas of family work in 1983, leading on to a part time judicial appointment for a number of years. She now works with a team of Paralegals and Associates within the company.
A particularly rewarding side of the work for Mercy is to see clients moving forward with financial security into a new phase of their lives after the initial shock of their relationship breakdown.
Whilst dealing with cases of high value, often involving business interests and/or complex legal issues, she is very interested in doing what she can to help the position of unmarried partners who separate. In this situation co-habiting couples who separate have very little legal protection.
A particularly rewarding side of the work for Mercy is to see clients moving forward with financial security into a new phase of their lives after the initial shock of their relationship breakdown.
Mercy's latest leading case she was involved in was L v L 2011 EWHC 2207.
In her spare time Mercy's interests after family are gardening, theatre, cinema, cooking new recipes (the more obscure the better) and collecting old cook books, particularly handwritten ones.
‘Mercy Messenger has a good analytical mind. She is an astute solicitor with very good judgement and a good understanding of human nature. She has extensive experience (including a knowledge of the judges she deals with and her professional opponents) and is tough - both with the other side and her own clients’
