Having studied at Nottingham Law School and the University of Law, Marjha began her legal career in London in 2005 and qualified in May 2010, following completion of a training contract at a boutique London law firm.

In 2014, Marjha relocated back to Wales and led a team at legacy firm Burroughs Day in Bristol, later joining the growing family team at Irwin Mitchell. In 2021, Marjha joined specialist firm RDP Law to relaunch the family team, where they were shortlisted for Family Team of the Year at the 2022 Wales Legal Awards.

Marjha joined Stowe’s Cardiff office in November 2023.

Specialisms

Marjha specialises in High Net Worth Divorce and Financial Settlements, with a focus on handling complex cases involving farming and business/company disputes. Her expertise extends to contested Schedule 1 financial support, pre/post-nuptial agreements, contested children matters (including international relocation and child abduction), and wealth protection.

Marjha has a particular emphasis on advising clients within the realms of farming and landed estates, as well as providing guidance to business owners and individuals with inherited wealth. Her specialization underscores a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in navigating intricate legal landscapes related to high-value divorce cases and financial settlements.

Approach

Marjha is characterised by her inquisitive nature and takes great pride in her meticulous attention to detail. This quality is particularly evident in her analysis of extensive financial disclosures, where she not only scrutinizes the information presented but also delves into what might be missing or left unspoken, requiring genuine exploration. Her role involves thinking outside the box and crafting bespoke solutions for each client, a process that necessitates a keen ability to truly listen.

Despite the challenges of being a divorce lawyer, Marjha embraces the task with optimism. She believes that her job provides her with a faith in humanity rather than cynicism. Witnessing individuals navigate through difficult situations and ultimately find happiness reinforces her optimistic outlook.

Marjha is often confronted with questions about how she can be a divorce lawyer and still believe in love. However, she contends that her profession reinforces her belief in the resilience of people, as they can overcome adversity and discover fulfillment in various ways. According to Marjha, maintaining an eternal optimism is not just a personal trait but a prerequisite for excelling in her role.

Accreditations, memberships & awards

Marjha is acknowledged in the Legal 500 for her expertise, described as ‘very knowledgeable and compassionate,’ and recognized as a Next Generation Partner. Her specialization lies in advising on divorces with complex assets, including intricate business structures and trusts.

A proud member of Resolution, Marjha is dedicated to fostering a constructive approach in family law.

Beyond her legal practice, Marjha contributes insights through writings for prominent publications like Spear’s, Farmers Weekly, and the ‘Living’ group. She also engages in education, lecturing for the University of the West of England’s Course Connect program.

Marjha’s influence extends to legal advocacy, actively participating in the lobbying for No Fault Divorce and being invited to speak at significant events, such as the Law Commission’s ‘Reform of Financial Provision’ debate at the House of Lords in June 2023 and the CLA’s ‘Next Generation’ event at The Royal Welsh in July 2023, showcasing her as a notable figure in the legal community.

Outside of work

When Marjha is not keeping up with the lively antics of her exuberant 6-year-old, she can be spotted on the sidelines of a rugby pitch, passionately backing her daughter’s games or energetically cheering for Wales.  Marjha also channels her enthusiasm into the culinary realm, orchestrating delightful meals and hosting gatherings that bring family and friends together around a bountiful table.

Marjha is a professional member of the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) and actively contributes to the organisation by serving on the South East Wales branch committee. In November 2023, Marjha was elected to the CLA’s national LPPR committee (Legal, Parliamentary, and Property Rights) which plays a pivotal role in shaping the CLA’s policies.
