Hayley Goucher

Specialisms

Hayley has experience and specialises in all aspects of family law including divorce, finances, private children disputes, and co-habituation disputes. She also can also advise and assist with non-molestation Orders and Occupation Orders.

Approach

Hayley prides herself on her client focused approach. Client care is her top priority. She is technically equipped to tailor advice to each individual client. She is a passionate solicitor and takes the time to fully understand her client’s needs.

She is able to get to grips very quickly with issues and navigates her client through, what can be, one of the most stressful times of their lives in a competent and supportive manner.

Hayley delivers comprehensive advice. She is down to earth, frank but compassionate. It is important to her to have a strong rapport with her clients so that they can strategise together the best way forward in order to achieve the optimum outcome in the circumstances.

Hayley will always endeavour to resolve matters amicably and she appreciates how important this can be when dealing with human relationships and emotions. However, she is also assertive and equally comfortable and experienced in representing clients within Court proceedings if this is necessary.

Training and experience

Hayley graduated from the University of Kent with a high 2:1 LLB (Hons) in Law. During her time at university, she won awards for being the most outstanding student (in the first year) and also for the best academic performance (in the final year). Hayley then went on to obtain a Master’s Degree in Law which was combined with the Legal Practice Course at the BBP Law School in London, having been awarded a Scholarship.

Hayley has practised family law in both Kent and London firms (most of which are Legal 500 firms). This has provided her with broad exposure to and experience with a variety of different complex matters.
