Our Family Team has expertise in all areas of Family Law
Public Law matters are dealt with on behalf of parents, Local Authorities and Guardians. Members are on a number of approved Local Authority Panels, including conducting Court of Protection work. Particular expertise is available in “shaken baby” cases.
Private Law instructions include representation for parents with significant personality and learning difficulties, with an emphasis on developing a professional but empathetic relationship with each client.
Financial Remedy work is undertaken by individual members. This has included a number of technically complex farming and business centred cases.
The mediation Suite in Chambers enables multi-party conferences and advocates meetings to be held.
Public Access work is also undertaken
