Marie Proud is a Partner and Head of our Divorce and Family Law department.

Prior to joining Jolliffes in 2022, Marie worked as a Director at a leading firm in Staffordshire and South Cheshire, heading their Family Department, where she worked for over 20 years. Marie offers clear, practical and constructive advice to clients and takes into account the fact that every client is unique in terms of their needs and priorities. She is well aware that family dynamics can be complex and so deals with all clients in a sensitive manner throughout the client’s journey.

Marie has a vast experience dealing with family law matters, including:
• divorce and dissolution of marriage;
• financial disputes on separation;
• child disputes;
• pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements;
• cohabitation agreements;
• injunctions; and
• change of name deeds and statutory declarations.

When not working, Marie enjoys travelling and spending time with her family and friends.
