Julie Taylor

I am a children, family and divorce solicitor. I help individuals consciously uncouple as amicably as possible, but I also have a wealth of experience in uncoupling which is not so easy where there is high conflict, a controlling partner and sadly domestic abuse.

I endeavour to be a kind and reassuring support to the people I meet. Often, I meet people when they are at their lowest and in the most difficult times in their lives. I offer a kind, realistic and pragmatic approach to a resolution.

I work collaboratively with therapists, divorce coaches, counsellors, family consultants, financial planners, accountants and pension experts to provide a holistic approach. I find this provides the best outcome from a financial and emotional perspective.

I am a Partner at Spencer West LLP. I joined the firm in January 2021, having previously been a Partner in well-established Kent firms. I have a wealth of experience as a specialist family lawyer. I had a previous career in the IT and financial sectors before becoming a solicitor and my business knowledge helps me to understand the complexities that can arise when sharing assets and I am able to provide holistic practical advice.

I am a qualified Collaborative Family Lawyer and I promote a resolution away from the court process wherever possible via mediation, arbitration and the collaborative process. I am equally prepared to take a case to court if this is necessary and I specialise in high conflict divorces.

I am a member of Resolution, the national organisation for family lawyers and professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve problems in a constructive way.
