About
Maya has a busy practice across the spectrum of family law, including private and public children work, financial remedies and international relocation matters. She regularly appears in multi-day fact-findings, final hearings and has appeared in the High Court.
Maya was awarded the Senior Scholarship by Gray’s Inn, their most prestigious and competitive award, for demonstrating exceptional talent as an advocate. She was later awarded the Pegasus Scholarship by Inner Temple, enabling her to spend nine weeks in Delhi learning about the Indian justice system. She is therefore particularly interested in cross-jurisdictional matters.
Maya is committed to supporting access to the Bar, and provides mentorship to aspiring barristers from underrepresented backgrounds. Maya regularly offers advice and training for a number of pro bono initiatives.
Prior to coming to the Bar, Maya worked as a mental health support worker at Hestia, a domestic violence caseworker at Refuge, and as a legal assistant for a busy firm.

Testimonials
“I have worked with Maya on a number of cases now, which have largely consisted of complex children matters, some involving very severe incidents of domestic abuse/significant safeguarding concerns. Maya has always handled each matter with the utmost care and precision. Not only is she extremely thorough and has faultless attention to detail, but it is clear that she cares greatly about the client and their outcome, and guides them through the process seamlessly. Many of my clients have chosen to instruct Maya again and again, and we have worked together to achieve many successful outcomes as a result.”
