Senior Associate

Family & Child Law Solicitor

About Carly Sullivan

I qualified as a solicitor in 2006 and joined Hatch Brenner in 2017.

I am a children law specialist and focus on both private and care proceedings relating to children.  I have been a representative of the Law Society’s Children Panel since 2011 and am able to represent both adults and Children in Court proceedings.  I represent children through the assistance of their Guardians and Children who are able to instruct solicitors themselves.

I am extremely experienced in Children related matters and have spent many years advocating for Children and Families in Norfolk.  I have also spent many years advising at the NCLS domestic abuse clinic and working with various professionals in supporting vulnerable families in the community.  I also have extensive experience in representing separating couples who require non-molestation orders. 

I am originally from Norfolk but completed my Law (LLB Hons) undergraduate degree at the University of Derby before completing my legal studies at the College of Law in Guildford.
