Farrah Harvey-Nawaz

Associate Solicitor

I am an Associate solicitor in the Divorce and Family team in our Chelmsford and Basildon office. I am professional, friendly and approachable. I keep my clients informed and updated as much as possible, as I appreciate their circumstances. I like to put my clients at ease and try to explain the law in a way that suits them whilst giving them confidence. I am available for a free 15 minute telephone conversation on 01245 453818.

I chose this path as I love helping people. Family law is a stressful and emotional time for clients, so I like to be as supportive as I can whilst helping them move into the next chapter of their lives.

I deal with children law matters, divorce and financial matters, cohabitation matters (including Separation Agreements and ToLATA applications), pre-nuptial agreements, family law matters (including Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders) and international child abduction cases. I also have previous experience with public care work, including, but not limited to, care proceedings and domestic abuse matters.

I engage in charitable work where I can. I have previously volunteered for Child Bereavement UK and Refuge.

In my spare time, I enjoy travelling and learning about different cultures. I try to practice Yoga on a regular basis. I also love food so I am always trying out a different restaurant when I can.

What our clients say

  • Birkett Long is the best firm by far. They have been such a strong supportive network to rely on in such breaking and hard times, nothing is ever too much trouble. I built a great rapport with them instantly, feeling listened to with the attention to detail and their excellent and clear communication skills they worked to resolve the issues. They are friendly, caring, warm and approachable. If my solicitor was unavailable, I received the same level of support and help from other staff members resolving issues immediately and with ease.

  • I am more than happy to recommend Farrah Harvey-Nawaz and Birkett Long. I felt comfortable throughout as my case was handled very professionally & sympathetically. The advice given was easy to understand & act upon.
  • I can say with certainty that joining the Birkett Long family really was the best move. Despite not being able to meet all my colleagues in person at first, everyone was extremely welcoming. I even played virtual bingo with my team before starting. Since starting, the HR and Training teams have been extremely supportive and available to answer any queries relating to any paperwork or the case management system. Throughout my short time with Birkett Long (albeit it feels like I have been here forever), I have only witnessed appreciation of employees and how much Birkett Long gives back to the community. This is line with my personal views and so, it is nice to be a part of a firm that is looking after others. The Managing Partner is truly a breath of fresh air as he is always open to listen to new practices and works with everyone to implement them. Birkett Long is truly my work family.
