Tula, who qualified in 1997, has over 24 years’ experience as a specialist family solicitor, having practised family law exclusively since 2000. She has a wealth of expertise in all aspects of Family Law including divorce, financial settlements for married and unmarried couples as well as Children Act applications, for shared care arrangements and also financial provision.
