Kent Junior Lawyer of the Year finalist promoted

A talented lawyer who joined leading Kent law firm Furley Page as a trainee has been promoted to Associate. Naomi Hayward, a member of the firm’s Family Team since qualifying as a solicitor in 2010, has wide experience in all aspects of divorce and family law matters. She advises clients on resolving disputes relating to separating and divorcing, the breakdown of civil partnerships, cohabiting couples, financial matters and matters relating to children. Since 2014 she has been a Collaborative Lawyer, enabling her to offer clients an alternative means of resolving family disputes rather than the traditional method of solicitors’ correspondence and court proceedings. “I find it very rewarding to be able to assist and advise people through family and relationship breakdown and help them reach out-of-court agreements and settlements wherever possible,” says Naomi, who was shortlisted for this year’s Kent Law Society Junior Lawyer of the Year award. James Muir-Little, Partner and Head of Family Law, adds: “Naomi understands that, for many couples and their children, the process of separation is often a difficult and stressful time. “She provides a sympathetic yet practical approach when assisting her clients and does so in the most cost-effective way possible. Her promotion is in recognition of her achievements and commitment and is well deserved.” Naomi is a member of Resolution, a national organisation committed to the constructive, non-confrontational resolution of family disputes and encouraging solutions that consider the needs of the whole family – particularly the best interests of children. She is also chairperson of the Young Resolution Committee in Kent. Naomi is part of Furley Page’s five-strong team of family law specialists who have gained an enviable reputation for their expertise and experience in all aspects of family law and divorce, including mediation and collaborative law.
