We have over 50 barristers who specialise in children law (private) from residence and contact disputes, applications for leave to remove children from the jurisdiction and general specific issue applications relating to children. Our team also has enormous experience dealing with child abduction situations. Our barristers are well renowned for dealing sensitively and effectively with all disputes. Our team has vast experience of dealing with cases involving serious domestic and sexual abuse and emotional harm to children.

We always strive to achieve pragmatic and workable solutions for the parties and we act for parents and grandparents as well as for Children’s Guardians.

In addition to providing expert advice in this area, we are committed to expanding the understanding of the complex issues in private law matters relating to children. We deliver seminars and continuing professional education through our own training programme and in conjunction with other providers and junior members of our chambers benefit from a scheme with a local authority partner that allows them to spend four months working in-house.
