Spear’s Review

Fladgate partner Teresa Cullen’s practice is guided by a fundamental principle of adopting a strategy at ‘the earliest opportunity’.

‘Each family is different, and each family’s circumstances need a tailored approach, whether that is dealing with matters with the court’s assistance and adopting the court timetable, or endeavouring to negotiate the best outcome for my clients in light of ongoing family relationships,’ says Cullen, who joined Fladgate in 2014.

High-value financial claims spanning multiple jurisdictions are one of the main areas of Cullen’s expertise. ‘I am unfazed by complicated trust structures or corporate entities,’ she notes. ‘I feel as at home with the financial complexities as I do with trying to arrange safe and fulfilling relationships for children with both their parents, wherever possible.’
