Beth Duffy

Training & experience

I qualified as a solicitor in 2018. I then trained and qualified at a full-service regional firm before moving to a specialist family law firm in 2021.

Specialisms

I am experienced in all areas of family law including divorce, financial settlements on relationship breakdown (including for cohabiting couples) and private children cases, as well as Family Law Act matters.

I have worked on high value matters where there are complex issues across multiple jurisdictions.

I have also worked on complex children cases including those regarding contact, relocation and fact finding hearings.

Approach

I aim to provide clients with a professional, proactive and efficient service and seek to understand each client’s concerns whilst giving practical and realistic advice.

As no family situation is the same, I believe in the importance of listening to my clients to understand their unique personal needs. I aim to give advice in a clear and empathetic manner.

Memberships

I am a member of Resolution and a committee member for Essex YRes.

I am part of the Lexis Next Gen Consulting Editorial Board.

Outside of work

I enjoy reading and spending time with my family.
