About

Family cases are rarely only legal problems. Our family team is instructed in divorce, children and domestic abuse matters across the North West — and the barrister who advises you at the first hearing is the barrister who represents you at the final one.

We act in financial remedy claims from modest asset cases to those involving businesses, trusts and overseas property, and in children proceedings at every level of the Family Court and the High Court. Several of our members sit as Recorders and Deputy District Judges in family work.

We accept instructions from solicitors and, in suitable cases, directly from the public under the Direct Access scheme.

What happens when you instruct us

01

Speak to our clerks

A confidential call to understand your situation, your deadlines and whether we are the right chambers. No charge, no obligation.

02

Meet your barrister

A conference — in chambers or by video — with the barrister who will handle your case throughout, and a clear written quote before any work begins.

03

Preparation

Your barrister owns the papers: statements, disclosure, negotiation. Nothing is handed off the night before a hearing.

04

The hearing

The same barrister stands up in court, and afterwards explains the order — what it means, and what happens next.

Ask a question

Most of our family work is done on fixed fees agreed in writing before any work begins — one figure for a conference, one for a hearing. You will never receive an unexpected invoice. Legal aid is available for certain cases.
