Prior to becoming a Consultant in the Child Care Department at Hanne & Co., Paulena was a founding partner at Van Baaren & Wright (established in 1997).
Paulena chose to specialise in care proceeding early in her career and she is a member of the Law Society’s Children Panel where she is a qualified Children’s Representative. Her role is to represent children, parents and other family members through what are always difficult and sensitive proceedings.
Moving to Hanne & Co. has provided the opportunity of working within a large and well respected department where colleagues are always at hand to discuss any complex issues. Having completed her training at a firm in Putney in 1993 she has never strayed far from the area, living in South West London with her young family
