Fiona Read

I am a partner and head of the family team in Russell-Cooke’s Putney office.

I have extensive experience in all aspects of family law. I frequently handles cases with an international element and which often involve high value financial settlements in divorce, disputed arrangements with children (including re-location to other countries) pre and post nups and co-habitation and property disputes.

As an accredited mediator, collaborative practitioner and a family law (both for finance and children) arbitrator, I can deal with a multitude of disputes.

I sit part-time as a District Judge in the family and civil courts and I have been elected to hear private children disputes between parents. This valuable insight and unique perspective into the workings of the courts directly benefits my family practice.

I am always keen to resolve issues as quickly as possible. My aim is to guide my clients, through what is often a complex process, using a method that suits the case in order to obtain the best outcome.
