Mel is a solicitor, partner and Collaborative lawyer at Knights PLC and specialises in divorce and the financial issues that arise on family breakdown. Mel drafts and advises upon Prenuptial, Postnuptial and Cohabitation Agreements, helping couples to protect the wealth they bring into a relationship. She also assists unmarried couples when their relationship comes to an end.
She has many years' experience dealing with high net worth cases as well as those involving complex issues, including self-invested pension schemes, inherited wealth, foreign property and offshore trusts.
Mel has been a member of Resolution for many years, which is an association of family lawyers who aim to resolve family disputes in a way that reduces conflict. She is also a member of the Law Society Family Panel, which is a specialist family law accreditation scheme.
Mel studied a Dual Honours Degree in Law and Psychology at Keele University then undertook her Legal Practice Course at the College of Law, Chester. She qualified as a Solicitor in 2002 into a large practise in South Essex. She has practised family law in Colchester since 2006, leading the firm’s Colchester family team for a number of those years.
Mel is trained as a Collaborative lawyer and believes that for many couples, the Collaborative approach is the best way to deal with the issues they face when their relationship breaks down.
Outside of work, Mel enjoys spending time with her children, exercising, cooking and walking the family dog. She is a former member of the Basildon Child Contact Centre Committee and Essex Resolution Committee.
