The Family Law Specialist Group provides a depth of experience and expertise in all areas and levels of Family Law. Members of this group regularly represent local authorities, parents, children and their Guardians in public law matters. In private law cases members’ expertise includes representation in disputes involving married couples and cohabitees, their children, all aspects of financial ancillary relief and child abduction.

Whilst counsel are instructed for their advocacy experience in these specialist areas, the importance of advisory work is never overlooked. Members endeavour to return paperwork within a reasonable time and are available to do urgent work if necessary even at very short notice. Urgent instructions can be received by e-mail and a response can be given via the same medium.


Members of the group can provide:

• A friendly and approachable manner towards both professional and lay clients

• A positive, constructive approach to cases

• A determined commitment to achieving the best possible results


We are committed to provide our professional and lay clients with the urgent meeting of court deadlines and to meeting dates for the return of paperwork, where these have been agreed. Chambers can provide documents in a variety of applications, chronologies, schedules, calculations and summaries in order to present cases effectively.

The range of age and experience within out team ensures that we are able to match our professional clients to the most suitable barrister. Several members of the team are listed as Leading Juniors in both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 directories. Several members of the group also sit as Deputy High Court Judges, Recorders and Deputy District Judges.


We regularly arrange seminars in Birmingham and surrounding areas on a range of topics and have CPD accreditation. We are happy to jointly organise such events with instructing solicitors.
