Henrietta was the Family Law Young Barrister of the Year runner-up at the LexisNexis Family Law Awards 2022, and was shortlisted as a finalist for the same award again in 2023.
Henrietta accepts instructions in all areas of private family law. She appears regularly in the High Court both in financial remedy cases and in international child abduction cases, as sole counsel (e.g. UG v NN [2022] EWHC 8 (Fam)) and also as a junior to other members of chambers (e.g. Horohoe v Horohoe [2020] EWFC 102, CG v DL [2023] EWFC 82). As well as representing clients in court, Henrietta is often instructed to undertake advisory and drafting work.
In 2021, Henrietta was the Judicial Assistant to Mr Justice Mostyn in the Family Division of the High Court.
In addition to her caseload, Henrietta sits on various family law committees. She is a member of the Editorial Board of the Financial Remedies Journal, and was a member of the financial remedies sub-group of the Transparency Implementation Group, which wrote a report for the President of the Family Division containing recommendations about what changes should be made to the media’s ability to report on private financial remedies hearings. Henrietta is particularly well placed to advise clients concerned about privacy and media attention given her involvement in the Transparency Implementation Group.
Henrietta also enjoys writing and speaking about family law. She is an author of the textbook Financial Remedies Practice, described as ‘the go-to reference book when considering any practical issues arising from the FPR 2010’ by the Law Society Gazette. She also frequently provides lectures to solicitors’ firms and local Resolution networks, and has been invited to speak at the annual At A Glance financial remedies conference twice.
