 | Family Law at 1kbw |
"The team collectively covers all bases in family law, from tricky niche areas in ancillary relief to cross-jurisdictional matters and private and public law cases relating to children." Chambers and Partners
The 1kbw family law team offers expertise in Finance and Divorce as well as Child Law (both private and public law cases).
- We are acknowledged leaders in our field
- We have one of the most experienced teams operating on the cutting edge of family law
- We have more, and more experienced, QCs than any other family law chambers
- We are an award winning team
Many of our members sit as Deputy High Court Judges and Recorders. We believe this provides invaluable additional experience to us as advocates and advisors.
We encourage our junior tenants to hone their skills in court doing trial work. This means that they bring a forensic maturity to cases at an early stage and we believe, and others have commented, that we have some of the best cross examiners at the bar.
The breadth of our experience is easily demonstrated
- Members of the family team at 1kbw have frequently appeared in matrimonial finance cases and child law cases in the House of Lords / Supreme Court
- Members of our family law team appear routinely in the Court of Appeal in ground breaking cases.
- We are to be seen in heavyweight High Court cases on a daily basis.
