Zhenja is an Associate in the Thrings Family team, advising clients on all aspects of privately funded family work, including resolving financial matters on divorce, particularly in complex cases involving family businesses, farming partnerships, and issues of domestic abuse.
She also assists clients with child arrangements, including cases involving child relocation, and has experience applying for non-molestation and occupation orders.
Zhenja’s particular area of expertise is advising separating cohabiting couples on their rights in shared property, and her background in dispute resolution gives her a strong knowledge of the Civil Procedure Rules required for such cases.
A leading figure within the nationally recognised family law organisation Resolution, Zhenja is co-chair of the National Young Resolution Committee. Having been trained in Resolution Together, Zhenja is also a practitioner of the firm’s One Couple One Lawyer service, advising both halves of separating couples together to achieve a resolution in their best interests.
Zhenja will assist clients both in and out of court proceedings, striving to resolve as many cases as possible through alternative means where appropriate. This approach is in line with recent changes in the FPR and helps clients retain control over the process and costs of their cases.
