St Albans Chambers has an experienced family team who practice principally on the South Eastern circuit.

Our Barristers regularly act for local authorities, parents, grandparents, children and children’s guardians.

A complete service is offered – with particular emphasis on providing an expert and client friendly approach to people involved in such emotive litigation.

All members of the team are members of the Family Law Bar Association.

Private Law

Our members handle all aspects of private law proceedings whether involving child contact and residence or domestic abuse cases between partners. Barristers have experience in applications by Grandparents and other relatives for the full range of s.8 Orders.

Public Law

In public law children proceedings, barristers are happy to represent any party – parents, children, and local authorities.

Ancillary Relief

Chambers specialises in ancillary relief and can deal with small and high value cases. We can assist with company and share valuations, as well as advising on pension sharing.

Actions involving co-habitees, resulting and constructive trusts, proprietary estoppel as well as contested Inheritance Act Claims can be advised upon.
