She has also been asked to comment on employment law related subjects on various media outlets such as BBC Radio 4, Bloomberg and The Guardian.  In relation to her family practice, Sheila deals with all aspects of divorce, ancillary relief and children’s matters.

Sheila often assists her clients from the very outset of their claims, and is regularly praised for her down to earth, sensitive, yet practical approach. She works closely with her clients in order to ensure that they achieve the best possible results and so that they feel fully supported along the way. Her strong client relationships have meant that she receives a lot of referrals and repeat business.
