Call: 2007
Jennifer Lee is a specialist family law practitioner with a thriving practice in financial remedies. She is frequently instructed to represent high-net-worth and ultra high-net-worth clients in cases involving family businesses, inherited wealth, substantial pensions, nuptial agreements, and trusts. Many of her cases involve tax complications and international elements, with foreign assets and cross-jurisdictional issues, such as the validity of an overseas marriage/ divorce or claims in multiple jurisdictions (including Asia and Africa). Several of her cases have involved high-stakes litigation with very significant assets (over £450M). Jennifer has also successfully represented clients in “big money” Schedule 1 (financial provision for children) and cohabitation/ trusts of land disputes.
Jennifer has appeared in a number of high-profile, reported financial remedy/ divorce cases, most notably in Veluppillai v Veluppillai & Ors [2015] EWHC 3095 (High Court), LFL v LSL (McKenzie Friends & Breach of Court Orders) [2017] EWFC B62 (also reported as [2017] All ER (D) 237], N v N (Afghanistan: Validity of an overseas marriage: Procedure)[2020] EWFC B55, BC v SC [2023] EWFC 307(B) and Adodo v Tan [2025] EWFC 184 (B).
In addition to her practice at the Bar, Jennifer sits as a fee-paid Judge of the Tax Chamber (FTT), reflecting her expertise in tax, in particular, in the context of (U)HNW financial remedies.
Described as ‘a fierce and outstanding advocate’ with ‘exceptional attention to detail’, ‘a complete powerhouse’ and ‘an absolute class act’, Jennifer has been named as one of a few “Recommended” family law barristers in the UK in the prestigious Spear’s Legal Index (Spear’s 500 “Best Family Law Barristers 2026”). In 2026, Jennifer is also listed as one of five top “names to know” by Spear’s – the only junior family law barrister to make the list.
Jennifer has been consistently top-ranked for many years in other leading legal directories, namely, as a “Leading Junior (Tier 1)” in The Legal 500, and as a specialist in “family and matrimonial law” in Chambers & Partners (UK Bar). She has been highly commended for her attention to detail, and her robust approach in negotiations and during hearings.
Jennifer has retained a niche practice in modern families/ surrogacy and has an interest in capacity issues where they overlap with divorce and financial remedies. Her expertise in these intersections of law makes her uniquely placed to advise clients when novel issues arise. She acted in R v T [2022] EWHC 3362 (Fam) which involved the children of a same-sex couple in the UAE. She represented the successful appellant (led by King’s Counsel) in the seminal Court of Appeal case of S (Children: Parentage and Jurisdiction) [2023] EWCA Civ 897, the leading decision on “consent” under the HFEA 2008 and the English court’s jurisdiction over children in connection with matrimonial proceedings.
Jennifer has a flourishing non-court dispute resolution practice and is regularly instructed as a private FDR evaluator/judge. She also has extensive experience of acting as counsel in private FDRs, arbitrations and mediations, at times involving parties who are based overseas and/or where there are competing claims in two or more jurisdictions.
Jennifer is joint-head of Chambers’ International Team and head of the COP Team. She writes for leading legal publications and is frequently invited to speak at conferences in the UK and abroad, including international conferences held by the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL), LAWASIA and ThoughtLeaders4. She sits on the prestigious Financial Remedies Journal Editorial Board and is joint-Editor of the Family Law Reports (the leading specialist family court reporting service from LexisNexis). She is a member of the Family Law Bar Association, Resolution (ED&I Committee) and LAWASIA. She was nominated as “Junior Barrister of the Year” at the Jordans’ Family Law Awards in 2016.

Jennifer (led by King’s Counsel) was instructed to represent a world-renowned, international football personality in this UHNW divorce in the High Court, involving significant assets in England, Switzerland and other countries. A complex feature of the case was related tax litigation, representing a significant contingent matrimonial liability.
Jennifer (led by Leslie Samuels KC) was instructed on behalf of the Wife in this highly unusual, factually complex case concerning a contested divorce, involving parties in their 90’s. The Husband contested the divorce by invoking the Court’s inherent jurisdiction, alleging that the Wife, who had mental capacity, was nevertheless apparently “vulnerable” and subject to coercion/undue influence. In the bitterly contested proceedings, numerous issues were raised, with profound implications for personal autonomy, our understanding of domestic abuse, and assumptions about age and gender. The Husband’s application was eventually dismissed and a significant costs order made against him (in a six figure sum).
Jennifer was instructed to advise and represent the Wife in this Anglo-Russian UHNW divorce involving significant businesses, offshore trusts, and a jurisdictional race between England and overseas jurisdictions. Her client was a gifted artist and socialite. The parties were keen art collectors. The Husband was a highly successful businessman with interests in several jurisdictions. A Hemain injunction was made against the Husband to prevent him from unilaterally obtaining a divorce order in a foreign jurisdiction, requiring quick strategic thinking and collaboration with overseas lawyers. Jennifer and her team were eventually able to secure a highly advantageous financial outcome for the client and the children.
This was a rehearing of the Husband’s financial remedies application, the initial proceedings having been litigated in the Court of Appeal (see Adodo v Tan [2024] EWCA Civ 1288).
The main issue in the case was the Wife’s significant non-matrimonial assets, which consisted of the Wife’s Singapore Central Provident Fund (CPF), a retirement scheme with complex features (which had been inadvertently misunderstood in the initial proceedings), and her two properties in Singapore and Malaysia.
The W was represented by a new firm of solicitors and counsel (Jennifer Lee) at the re-hearing. At the rehearing, the Wife was successful in securing from the Court recognition of her significant unmatched contributions by way of the Singapore CPF fund and her two properties. The Husband was awarded 27% of the total assets (about 48% of what was considered matrimonial) – a fair outcome which reflected the W’s significant non-matrimonial assets. The award enabled the Wife to retain her Singapore CPF retirement funds in full, as well as her two properties abroad.
The Judge also rejected the H’s application for costs against the W for aspects of the appeal to the Court of Appeal.
In the Court’s judgment following the re-hearing, HHJ Rogers observed that the Wife “had the advantage of Ms Lee’s advocacy at this hearing”, that he was “grateful to Ms Lee for the clarity and thoughtfulness of her documents and submissions and for her conduct of the case in court” and that her “cross examination of H was skilful and professional.”
Jennifer (led by Judith Murray KC) acted for the successful Husband in this notable decision on the rarely reported issue of how the Court treats the proceeds of a critical illness insurance policy. Whilst treated as matrimonial property, Jennifer and her team successfully persuaded the Court that fairness required the assets to be divided unequally in favour of the Husband, in light of the provenance of the proceeds (a source external to the marriage and paid only by virtue of his illness) and on the basis of his greater needs.
Successfully represented the petitioner in an important Judgment on the validity of an overseas marriage, and compliance with the significant procedural rules which apply if one wishes to defend a divorce. The parties disagreed over whether a marriage ceremony (held by proxy) had taken place, and whether it should be recognised as a valid marriage in this jurisdiction. The respondent had failed to comply with the significant family procedure rules in seeking to defend the divorce, and had breached court orders. The Court granted the petitioner's application for decree nisi and awarded her costs.
Successfully represented the wife in a £6.5M case involving inherited wealth and complex asset structures. The husband, highly obstructive, owned numerous companies which held luxury cars, boats and aircraft. There were issues concerning the true extent of the husband’s income, his manipulation of the companies’ assets, and his gross breach of court orders. In a damning Judgment, the Court found that the husband had failed to disclose extensive income/assets, awarding generous provision to the wife.
Successfully represented the respondent in a c£2M case involving a separation agreement, which was deemed to have been unfair due to material non-disclosure. Shortly before the consent order was lodged, the respondent discovered that the applicant had “omitted” to disclose his extensive business and property portfolio, pensions, and income from additional sources. The Court refused to uphold the agreement, which had been tainted by this serious non-disclosure.
Successfully represented the wife in a highly acrimonious family finance case, where the husband had failed to provide full and frank disclosure, and had been highly abusive/threatening to the wife and her solicitors. The parties were both well-regarded professionals; the husband was the CEO of an international company and historically earned six figure sums.
Successfully represented the respondent in contested divorce proceedings involving the validity or otherwise of an overseas marriage and divorce in an African state. Two experts, involving a silk, were instructed. The petition was successfully struck out, with costs awarded to the respondent.
Successfully represented the husband in an unusual case with assets of at least £1.5M, including an extensive home with 25 acres of land, and a family agricultural business. The husband also owned valuable eventing horses, one of which may be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. The marriage was short, but extremely volatile. The wife was abusive to the husband, causing him to suffer severe mental health difficulties. She also spent excessively and incurred significant debts post separation.
Reported Judgment – successfully represented the wife in financial remedy proceedings involving an obstructive McKenzie Friend, where the main assets were situated abroad.
Successfully represented the husband in a case where the wife came from a fabulously wealthy family. Her father was the heir to a banking fortune and had been incredibly generous to her, gifting her property and significant sums of money. He had also funded luxurious holidays for the family. In assessing the husband’s award, the Court rejected the wife’s assertions that she had limited funds and that her family’s vast wealth should be ignored.
A long-running financial remedy case, in which Mr Justice Mostyn made the unusual decision to name the parties involved, in order to expose the ‘absymal’ behaviour of the husband.
Jennifer Lee was instructed to represent the wife, Ms Anushiya Veluppillai. The case has generated widespread media interest particularly because of Mostyn J’s unusual decision to publish the judgment in full and without anonymisation in order to expose the behaviour of the husband, who had persistently failed to comply with court orders, failed to provide full and frank disclosure, transferred various assets to third parties in order to place them out of wife’s reach, sent abusive emails and threatened wife and her legal team, judges and court staff. In one instance, he assaulted wife and her previous counsel at court, and was duly convicted.
His Lordship said “There is no doubt Mr Veluppillai’s misconduct has been at the extreme end of the spectrum. It is in the public interest for his conduct to be exposed. The public should be aware of the scale of problems that courts administering justice have to face at the hands of unrepresented and malevolent litigants determined to do everything they can to destroy the process”.
Due to his extreme litigation misconduct, the husband was ordered to pay the entirety of the wife’s costs.
Successfully represented the husband in a complex, two-day matrimonial finance arbitration conducted under the IFLA Scheme. The parties were French and Korean, and owned properties in the UK and in foreign jurisdictions.
Achieved an excellent result for a client in financial remedy proceedings, which involved substantial pensions, and issues of lack of disclosure of assets in the UK and abroad. A costs order was made against the other party.
Jennifer has retained a niche practice in modern families and surrogacy. For many years, she has been advising and representing clients in Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act cases, and has acted in the High Court on parental order (international and domestic surrogacy) cases.
Jennifer is also frequently instructed to advise on novel issues involving capacity and/or parentage matters in the context of financial provision for children by HNW clients, or to represent them in high-conflict and relocation cases, particularly where there have been, or there are, parallel financial remedy proceedings.
She acted in R v T [2022] EWHC 3362 (Fam) which involved the children of a same-sex couple in the UAE. She represented the successful appellant (led by King’s Counsel) in the seminal Court of Appeal case of S (Children: Parentage and Jurisdiction) [2023] EWCA Civ 897, the leading decision on “consent” under the HFEA 2008 and the English court’s jurisdiction over children in connection with matrimonial proceedings.
Described as ‘a fierce and outstanding advocate’ with ‘exceptional attention to detail’, ‘a complete powerhouse’ and ‘an absolute class act’, Jennifer has been named as one of a few “Recommended” family law barristers in the UK in the prestigious Spear’s Legal Index (Spear’s 500 “Best Family Law Barristers 2026”). In 2026, Jennifer is also listed as one of five top “names to know” by Spear’s in – the only junior barrister to make the list.

She has been highly commended for her attention to detail and her robust approach in negotiations and during hearings.
Jennifer is co-head of Chambers’ International Team and head of the COP Team. She writes for legal publications and is frequently invited to speak at conferences in the UK and abroad, including international conferences held by the International Academy of Family Lawyers (IAFL), LAWASIA and ThoughtLeaders4. She sits on the prestigious Financial Remedies Journal Editorial Board and has been appointed as joint-Editor of the Family Law Reports (the leading specialist family court reporting service from LexisNexis). She is a member of the Family Law Bar Association, Resolution (ED&I Committee) and LAWASIA. She was nominated as “Junior Barrister of the Year” for the Jordans’ Family Law Awards 2016.
Jennifer Lee, led by Will Tyler KC, instructed by Byron James of Expatriate Law Limited, acted in the Court of Appeal for the successful Appellant in this case, a hugely significant decision involving the children of same-sex civil partners, conceived by fertility treatment and born in the UK, and now habitually resident in a Gulf State.
The Court of Appeal (Moylan, Peter Jackson and King LLJ) addressed two important, distinct legal issues: (a) whether the Appellant is the legal parent of the children who are the subject of her applications to the English Court; and (b) whether the English Court has jurisdiction under the FLA 1986 to consider applications by the Appellant for a child arrangements order in respect of the children who are not habitually resident in England.
The Appellant’s status as a same-sex parent prevented her from applying to the court in the Gulf State, where same-sex relationships are criminalised, and where a non-biological, same-sex parent of a child is not recognised as a parent and has no standing to apply to the courts in relation to contact or other aspects of parental responsibility.
The Court of Appeal found in favour of the Appellant on both grounds. The decision is now the leading decision on on “consent” under the HFEA 2008 and the English court’s jurisdiction over children in connection with matrimonial proceedings.
Jennifer Lee, led by Will Tyler KC, acted for the applicant (Ms R) in this highly complex and extraordinary case, which raises important jurisdictional and human rights issues.
The key question was whether the English Court had jurisdiction to consider applications by Ms R in respect of her children, conceived via assisted reproduction with her female ex-partner (Ms T), in circumstances where no other court in the world was and is able to determine questions about the children’s welfare.
The parties and the children are British. When the parties separated, Ms T relocated with the children to the UAE, where same-sex relationships are criminalised and where same-sex parenting is not recognised. The children’s contact with Ms R has completely broken down.
The High Court determined that it had no jurisdiction, despite accepting that no application could be made in the UAE and there was no other forum in the world available to investigate or determine the children’s welfare.
The Court of Appeal has granted permission to appeal. The Court of Appeal hearing took place in May 2023 and judgment is awaited (Re S: Children (2023))
A highly unusual and complex international surrogacy (parental order) case in the High Court, in which Jennifer Lee acted for the single applicant biological father. The case raises compelling issues about the use of overseas clinics in jurisdictions where surrogacy remains unregulated and potentially unlawful. The consent of the surrogate to the making of the parental order was also a complex issue, in light of concerns that she would withhold consent unless greater financial provision was provided to her.
Jennifer acted for the applicant parents in parental order proceedings in the High Court concerning a child born to a surrogate overseas. The case raised complex legal and factual issues in relation to the jurisdiction of the English Court and the domicile of the parents. Jennifer and her team succeeded in securing findings that the parents were indeed domiciled in England, that the Court had jurisdiction, and that it would be in the lifelong welfare interests of the child for a parental order to be made.
Successfully represented commissioning parents in an international surrogacy case, in respect of their application for a parental order for their child, who had been conceived via IVF and carried by a surrogate who lived in Europe.
Provided advice to commissioning parents in respect of their proposed surrogacy arrangement with an IVF clinic and surrogate in India.
Jennifer has an interest in the Court of Protection and capacity matters, particularly where they overlap with related divorce and financial remedies proceedings.
She is frequently instructed to advise/represent clients in cases where one spouse/partner has lost capacity in divorce/ financial remedy proceedings. She has also appeared in COP cases involving applications for orders concerning property and affairs, and personal welfare, including those where divorce proceedings are afoot.
Jennifer acted for the successful applicant in DB v DW [2015] EWCOP 16, which involved competing applications for deputyship for property and affairs. Jennifer leads the Court of Protection Team in Chambers.
Represented the successful applicant in a case involving two competing applications for deputyship for property and affairs. The case also considered the rules regarding case reporting and the anonymity.
Represented the successful applicant in the Court of Protection, where orders were made for his appointment as deputy for personal welfare and property in highly emotive circumstances where P was suffering very serious ill health and required urgent medical treatment.
Jennifer has a flourishing non-court dispute resolution (NCDR) practice. She is regularly instructed as a private FDR evaluator/ judge, and is sought after particularly in cases which require forensic analysis and a keen eye for detail, or which involve international components or tax complications, or knotty legal issues (e.g. capacity or modern families).
Jennifer is able to draw upon her in-depth knowledge of financial remedies and related areas, her experience acting for many years as counsel in private FDRs, arbitrations and mediations, and her experience sitting as a fee-paid Judge in the Tax Chamber, to assist clients in reaching a fair resolution. She is fair, principled and measured, detailed and meticulous, and able to take a robust approach when required.
Jennifer is named as one of a few “Recommended” family law barristers in the UK in the prestigious Spear’s Legal Index (Spear’s 500 “Best Family Law Barristers 2026”). In 2026, she is also listed as one of five top “names to know” by Spear’s in – the only junior barrister to make the list.
