About Polly

Polly specialises in modern family issues, including:

  • Domestic and international surrogacy arrangements;
  • Declaration of parentage;
  • Donor conception, including drafting and advising on known donor agreements; and    
  • Advising LGBTQ+ parents and single parents on their journey to parenthood.

Polly also works on all other family law matters, including divorce and dissolution of civil partnerships, financial remedy applications and arrangements for children.  She has worked on cases involving the international relocation of children and serious allegations of abuse.

Polly joined Burgess Mee in November 2020. Prior to this, she trained at a leading family boutique, where she gained a wealth of experience in complex financial proceedings for ultra-high- and high-net-worth individuals. She is a member of Resolution, an organisation for family lawyers which promotes a constructive and non-confrontational approach to family law cases. She has completed training in being trauma-informed, and aims to create a safe space for her clients so that they can navigate the process in the best possible way.

Polly has openly spoken about her own fertility struggles with Natalie Sutherland on 'The Worst Girl Gang Ever' podcast. Helping clients who face similar struggles is a real passion of hers.

Outside of work, Polly enjoys living an active lifestyle with her family. Her interests include playing golf, tennis and being by the coast.
