How Aurelie helps clients

Children proceedings run to strict court timetables, and a case can turn on whether the right document reaches the court in the right form at the right time. Aurelie keeps that side of a case in order, so that deadlines are met and the file is accurate.

She has worked in an environment where competing deadlines and a high volume of matters were the norm, and she is used to prioritising without losing accuracy. She handles sensitive material carefully, which matters in cases involving children and families.
