Family Law

The No 8 Family team offers a friendly, reliable and efficient service in advocacy, negotiation and client care.
We have a range of specialist and experienced barristers, in all areas of Family Law, appearing in cases from the Family Proceedings Court to the Court of Appeal. The team regularly acts for children, parents, local authorities and other family members.
Aspects of Immigration and Criminal Law feature increasingly in Family cases. No 8 Immigration team is highly respected in its field and the Family team benefits from members within it who also practise in Immigration. Similarly, some members of the Family team have expertise in Criminal Law. This provides significant advantages to both our professional and lay clients.
Work covered includes:
- Care and Adoption Proceedings
- Private Law (including all S8 applications)
- Domestic Violence
- Child Abduction/ Removal from the Jurisdiction
- Ancillary Relief
- Human Rights Cases
