Olive has been a partner at Breeze and Wyles Solicitors since 2004 and deals with mainly the resolution of the finances following a relationship breakdown. She is the head of the Family Department over all five offices of Breeze and Wyles; Hertford, Cheshunt, Hoddesdon, Bishops Stortford and Enfield.

Olive is a long standing member of Resolution and is on the Law Society Family Law Panel. She continues to retain a franchise with the Legal Services Commission providing legal aid to those who qualify and Olive remains committed to the ethos that regardless of means, it is a person’s right to be able to have legal advice. Olive is currently the voluntary solicitor for the Broxbourne Citizens Advice Bureau and is a Trustee of the East Herts and Broxbourne Domestic Violence Forum. Olive is at present trying to set up a Contact Centre to enable absent parents to have contact with their children in a secure and safe environment in the Hertford area.

Olive has recently trained as a Collaborative Lawyer, having felt that there must be an alternative to the traditional approach to resolving disputes between a couple. There are certainly circumstances where the traditional approach is appropriate but the Collaborative Law process gives a person a further option about how they wish to deal with their matter at such a difficult time.

Olive remains somewhat lucky to still feel, after nearly 8 years of practising and specialising in Family Law, completely passionate about being a family solicitor.

In her spare time Olive loves to go for long country walks and travel the world with her husband .
