Hannah Saxe

When it comes to children arrangements, Hannah is an expert in making and defending applications to relocate with children (both within England and Wales and overseas), domestic and international adoption, surrogacy and fertility law, allegations of sexual, physical and psychological abuse, applications by grandparents for access to grandchildren, parental alienation, fabricated or induced illness, parents and children who are neurodivergent and drug and alcohol dependency. 

She also has specialist expertise in advising cohabiting couples on relationship breakdown — both in terms of resolving issues relating to property and securing financial provisions for children.

In relation to financial matters, Hannah acts for clients with assets of all levels but has particular experience in dealing with cases where the assets are complicated and high value, emergency measures (such as freezing injunctions) are required or there are international elements.

Hannah is a Resolution Accredited Specialist in relation to private child law and the law relating to cohabiting couples. She sits on Resolution’s National Cohabitation Committee and was elected onto the National Committee in 2022. 

Recognised as a Leading Associate in The Legal 500 2025, a Rising Star in The Legal 500 2024 and ‘Up and Coming’ in Chambers and Partners 2025, Hannah was also nominated for the Rising Star award in the private client category of The Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse Awards in 2023.

Hannah has appeared on local and national radio and television to discuss family law issues. She has also written for publications including Today’s Family Lawyer, The Times and The Financial Times.

A passionate advocate for neuro-inclusion, Hannah is a mentor for Nurturing Neurodivergence, which provides peer-to-peer mentoring to empower and support fellow lawyers to thrive. She also volunteers for the charity Neurodiversity In Business.
