Navdip is an enthusiastic and driven Family Associate Partner in our London office and has gained a wide range of experience as a result of significant ‘hands on’ contact with clients from the outset of her career, with the ability to handle matters sensitively.

From the outset, Navdip makes every effort to keep the channels of communication between parties open to identify and narrow the issues, progress negotiations and to resolve matters as amicably and swiftly as possible thereby avoiding the need for a contested court hearing and the associated cost and emotional strain that this frequently entails.

Testimonial

“Going through a divorce was easily one of the most difficult times in my life. Even the thought of talking openly about everything going on in my life at that time was difficult but Mrs Dhariwal was very reassuring and gave me a lot of confidence. She gave me the positivity I really needed to get through the ordeal. I would definitely recommend her to anyone finding themselves needing help and advise if their marriage breaks down.”
