Kerry advised me on my divorce and arrangements for my children over twenty years ago. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience of family law and I was delighted to have her representing me. She inspires confidence in the process and outcome. She adopts a pragmatic and flexible approach designed to achieve a fair and balanced outcome for all parties. I have confidently recommended Kerry to a number of colleagues and friends, all of whom would say the same about her.’

When I first began my divorce proceedings, I initially chose a solicitor who was unresponsive and overly transactional. Fortunately, I turned to a good friend for a recommendation, as he had successfully obtained full custody of his daughter with the help of Kerry. Kerry is an exceptionally experienced lawyer who earned my trust by guiding me through a challenging process with calm authority and clear, practical advice. She was both understanding and pragmatic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of family law support. In fact, I've already recommended her to friends and colleagues, and they share the same high regard for Kerry."

Mandy Giles
Expert travel agency business and started at Savills in Henley-on-Thames.
Going through a divorce is never easy, but having the right lawyer can make all the difference. From the very beginning, Kerry was professional, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable. She took the time to understand my situation and always made me feel heard and supported.
Communication was clear and timely throughout the entire process. Whether it was negotiating a fair settlement under lengthy and challenging circumstances, or simply offering reassurance during difficult moments, she consistently went above and beyond.
Thanks to Kerry’s guidance and expertise, I was able to navigate this chapter of my life with confidence and peace of mind. I’m truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone facing the divorce journey.
About me.
With over 30 years' experience, I qualified as a family lawyer in London at Manches, where I worked on high-value cases and for celebrities. After moving to Henley in 2001, I joined Blandy & Blandy and later returned to lead Manches' family team in Reading, which became recognised by Chambers and The Legal 500.
I specialise in financial settlements, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, and children’s matters, including contact disputes and leave-to-remove hearings. I am a trained mediator and collaborative lawyer, focused on pragmatic resolutions, but am ready to fight my client’s case in court when needed.
My clients range from company directors and surgeons to start-up founders and accountants at Deloitte. I am Top Ranked in Chambers and The Legal 500, with clients praising my attention to detail, thoroughness, and calm, authoritative approach.
I began working as a self consultant in July 2025 for multi service law firm Bexley Beaumont. Set up in 2020 by Karen Bexley and Anna Beaumont. They had a vision of setting up a firm which combines the traditional law firm but with a fee sharing model. Already Bexley Beaumont has been nominated and won multiple awards. Bb promotes a genuinely collaborative culture. There is no hierarchy and everyone is equal. We are have autonomy as to what fees we charge and how much work we do. It is a hybrid model and we can choose when and if we go to the office or work from home Bexley Beaumont only employ the most experienced and talented lawyers and therefore I feel honoured to work for Bexley Beaumont along with all my other highly talented colleagues.
