Harley joined Carter Lemon Camerons LLP in May 2024 as a Solicitor in the Family and Litigation departments, having qualified the same year, following several years of experience within both private practice and in-house legal teams.

Harley advises clients on a broad range of private family law and civil litigation matters.

Her family law practice includes divorce and separation, financial remedy proceedings, cohabitation disputes, non-molestation and occupation order applications, and matters relating to children. She also has experience dealing with overlapping family and property disputes, including TOLATA claims and disputes concerning beneficial interests in property.

Alongside her family law work, Harley maintains a varied civil litigation caseload with particular experience in housing and property disputes, landlord and tenant matters, debt recovery, insolvency proceedings, contractual disputes, and general contentious matters.

Harley regularly assists clients throughout all stages of proceedings, from initial instruction through to negotiation, settlement, and final hearings. She has experience drafting a wide range of court documentation, pleadings, witness statements, and applications, and works closely with counsel and experts across both family and litigation matters.

Her dual-specialism background allows her to provide clients with practical, pragmatic, and commercially focused advice, particularly where family, property, and financial issues intersect.

Prior to qualifying as a Solicitor, Harley gained experience across family law, litigation, and dispute resolution, developing a strong foundation in contentious matters and client care.

Harley obtained her LLB Law degree from Nottingham Trent University before completing her LPC and Master’s degree at BPP University, where she achieved a distinction in her Family Law elective.

Outside of work, Harley enjoys travelling, time outdoors, and spending time with her friends and family.
