Kelly Hughes

What is your role and area of expertise?

I joined Cullimore Dutton in December 2022 as a family law solicitor. I specialise in all aspects of family law and have a keen interest in children disputes and financial matters on divorce.

How do you approach working with clients?

I consider myself to be extremely empathetic and can relate to the challenges clients face having been through divorce myself and now have a blended family. I fully understand the difficulties clients encounter both practically and emotionally in adjusting to their “new normal” whilst navigating the divorce process, dealing with financial matters and adjusting to co-parenting.

How do you incorporate Cullimore Dutton’s values?

I am very friendly, approachable and down to earth and I pride myself on being able to explain the law and legal processes to my clients in a clear and straightforward way.

What do you enjoy outside of work?

I’m a busy mum and enjoy spending time with my partner, our blended family and dog. My side hustle is being a taxi service for the kids! I’m also a keen aerialist (acrobatics above the ground) and a fair-weather runner!
