Professional Profile
Johanne spent her 2nd six pupillage at Took's Court, the chambers of Michael Mansfield QC, practicing criminal law. Having completed pupillage she practiced in both criminal and family law, where she developed her interest in family law and took the decision to practice solely in this area.
Throughout her career, she has undertaken public family law work, representing Local Authorities, Guardians and parents. In terms of private family law work, Johanne has done ancillary relief work, adoptions and a wide range of cases in the Family Law Act 1996 and Children Act 1989.
After gaining a wide area of experience, Johanne took the informed decision to practice in a small area of family law. She now concentrates on private cases in Family Law Act and Children Act matters, ranging from injunctions, transfer of tenancies, residence and contact. Johanne also specializes in same sex relationship cases. She also has a keen interest in working in the field of forced marriages.
