Her media work has included commentary on developments in family law legislation relating to image-based abuse and online harassment, specifically revenge porn. "Revenge porn" refers to the sharing of intimate, sexual images or videos of a person without their consent, typically by an ex-partner, to cause distress or harm. It is also known as “image-based sexual abuse”. It is also an offence to make threats to share intimate images under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. This means it is illegal to threaten to disclose a private sexual photograph or film in which another person appears, with the intention of causing distress to that individual. Those found guilty of it can be sentenced to up to 2 years in prison and a fine.  

Whether advising on sensitive family arrangements, protecting personal wealth, or resolving disputes following relationship breakdown, Holly is committed to providing clear, pragmatic advice with her client’s best interests at the forefront.
