Marie is a Senior Solicitor.
Having joined Meaby & Co in 2019, Marie brings the knowledge she gained in her previous career as a state-registered nurse into the work she does.
This is vital for the sound judgement and discretion that underpins the technical expertise required to be effective in Family Law.
Marie has a firm appreciation of the personal and commercial considerations that often accompany relationship breakdown and family disputes that she has gained throughout her time working with a vast range of clients.
Working across the full spectrum of Family Law, Marie has acted for clients in all matters, including divorce, complex financial settlements, private children’s proceedings, cohabitation disputes, domestic abuse and the preparation of pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
Her extensive experience in advising married couples, civil partners, unmarried couples and members of the LGBTQ community is centred around the recognition that every family is unique and deserves advice that is tailored to its particular circumstances.
Marie’s pragmatic and resolution-focused approach ensures that she delivers clear, strategic guidance that enables clients to make informed decisions with confidence.
Wherever possible, she seeks to achieve constructive outcomes through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution, recognising that preserving relationships and avoiding unnecessary conflict is often in the best interests of both clients and their families.
Should clients be in a position where litigation is necessary, Marie provides robust representation that is supported by her meticulous approach to preparation. Through this, she is able to be a determined advocate who aims to protect her client’s interests.
Her commitment to excellence extends beyond the client work she does and forms the core of her role as the Head of Department.

Clients benefit from this culture as they receive exceptional legal advice and the highest standards of care that acknowledge the reality that every client will have unique concerns and challenges.
