Our Team

Cherin joined A L Law Associates in June 2019 as a newly qualified Child Care and Family Solicitor after completing her Law Degree and LPC at the University of Hertfordshire.

Cherin has represented clients within all aspects of Child Care and Family Law including Private and Public Children matters, Divorce, Financial Settlements, child abduction matters and Domestic Abuse including Non-Molestation/Occupational Orders.  She is a keen advocate who endeavours to represent her clients throughout the Court proceedings from the first hearings up to the final hearings.

Cherin specialises in Divorce and Financial matters.  She has represented low, mid and high-net-worth clients and she will always strive to achieve the best financial settlements for her clients. In addition to financial matters in divorce, Cherin frequently advises unmarried clients in relation to cohabitation agreements, financial provisions for children under Schedule one of the Children Act 1989, and claims relating to shared homes or other property disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996.

Cherin also gained experience in Civil Litigation and Insolvency during her training.  She is now an ambitious litigator who can assist in civil litigation matters including debt collection.  She is keen to encourage parties to negotiate wherever possible to ensure clients do not incur unnecessary legal fees.  However, she has experience in guiding clients through the court process as and when necessary.

Additionally, Cherin has experience in providing independent legal advice to investors who may be required to act as a personal guarantor when securing a corporate loan.  Cherin has provided advice and assistance to clients with respect to the implications of acting as a personal guarantor and helped clients make the right decision based on their individual circumstances.

Building a good rapport with her clients is of the highest importance as Cherin believes this is vital to achieving her client’s goals.

Outside of work, Cherin enjoys carrying out Pro-Bono work with various domestic abuse charities, the Citizens Advise Bureau and Rights of Women to help individuals who may be unable to access legal advice through other means.  Cherin also enjoys baking, travelling, and reading.
