About

India is a solicitor in Burges Salmon’s Family Law and Divorce team. She joined the firm in 2016 as a legal apprentice and was among the first people at Burges Salmon to qualify as a solicitor through this route.

India advises clients across a broad range of family law matters, with a particular focus on high-value and complex financial remedy cases. She regularly acts in matters involving substantial wealth, business interests, inherited assets, and other complex asset structures. She advises clients at all stages of the process, from wealth protection planning through to negotiated settlements and court proceedings.

India also advises on a wide range of private children law matters arising from separation, including child arrangements, schooling, relocation, and other welfare-related issues. She has experience acting for clients both within and outside court proceedings, including in matters with international and cross-border elements. In addition, she advises on applications for non-molestation orders and occupation orders.

Clients value the care and attention India brings to their matters. She is committed to building strong client relationships and delivering tailored, practical advice, ensuring they feel informed and reassured throughout the process.

Outside of client work, India is a member of Resolution and YRes and serves on the committee of the Bristol Junior Lawyers Division. She previously co-chaired the Events Task Group of Burges Salmon’s BBalanced network, helping to organise firm-wide events and initiatives, including the firm’s International Women’s Day celebrations.
