    The Within The Window initiative
    Oct 30 2025

    In the latest edition of the family law podcast, new host Maria Henty is joined by Antonia Mee of Burgess Mee and Hannah Budd of The Rosefield Divorce consultancy to discuss the Within The Window initiative and how the initiative can be used to help our Family Law clients.


    “Within The Window” was created by two teams - Burgess Mee and Rosefield Divorce Consultancy - who understand the emotional, practical, financial and legal hurdles you’re facing and the impact that trauma has on what you’re going through.


    The teams at Burgess Mee and Rosefield Divorce Consultancy have all been trained to integrate a trauma-informed approach to all aspects of their practice of family law.


    Antonia Mee is the joint founder of the firm and runs it alongside Peter Burgess. Together they have grown the firm, developed its different specialisms and ensured that its strategy remains innovative and forward-thinking. She jointly developed with Peter Burgess the firm’s sister website, The Happy Co-Parent.


    Hannah Budd practised as a family law solicitor for over 15 years, during which time she represented many hundreds of clients through separation and divorce. Hannah was a partner at a specialist international family law practice and went on to co-found a boutique family law firm. Her work spanned all of the issues that arise from separation, including divorce, the resolution of financial matters and arrangements for children.
