Nick originally qualified in Australia in 2005 and practised for many years prior to relocating to the UK in 2019 and qualifying in England & Wales in 2022. He has practised exclusively in Family law, throughout his career, in both jurisdictions.

 Nick is a member of Resolution and an Accredited Specialist in complex financial remedies. He sits as a member of Resolution’s International Family Law Committee, for which he co-authored Resolution’s International Family Law Handbook published in 2025, alongside the Bristol Financial Remedies Court User Group.

An important component of Nick’s practice includes advising on wealth protection/management and future-proofing through preparation of cohabitation, pre and post-marital agreements, often with an international element, to protect high-value, pre-acquired assets and inter-generational wealth as part of succession planning.

Nick works closely in conjunction with clients’ financial advisory networks as part of the dispute resolution process to ensure that outcomes are secured in the most income and tax-effective manner possible. He recognises that each client has unique needs, values and priorities and seeks to provide a bespoke service to each individual matter to secure an outcome that is tailored to best suit their specific circumstances.
