Our Work

All of our barristers are family law specialists and are ideally placed to offer expert legal advice and representation, whatever your family dispute concerns.

FOURTEEN has a national reputation for its expertise in public law proceedings: our barristers have acted in many of the landmark cases, regularly appearing at all levels of court, including the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

CHILDREN: PRIVATE

We are at the forefront of the development of private law disputes, including alternative family structures and surrogacy cases. We act at all levels of court, including the Supreme Court, acting for parents, grandparents, children and wider family members.

FAMILY FINANCE

We specialise in financial claims arising from the breakdown of marriages, civil partnerships and cohabiting relationships - within this jurisdiction and overseas - from high-profile, high-value financial cases to those with more modest assets.

COURT OF PROTECTION

Our barristers appear frequently in health and welfare cases and in matters pertaining to property and financial affairs. We also welcome instructions in cases concerning the Mental Health Act 1983 and community care law.

INTERNATIONAL

Our international family law team has extensive experience dealing with cross-border disputes involving the movement of children, jurisdictional conflicts, international family finance and forced marriage and ‘stranded spouses’ cases.
