Harcourt Chambers

Karl is a specialist in the law relating to children. He represents parents, children and local authorities in public law proceedings, having appeared at all levels of court. He is a very experienced appellate lawyer, appearing in the Court of Appeal several times each year.

Karl has a particular interest in complex medical cases, including those involving death and serious injury. He has wide experience of defending parents against accusations of such alleged abuse which, ultimately, the court finds not to be proved. In addition, he has been involved in numerous cases of alleged radicalisation.

In private law proceedings Karl’s practice includes representing high net worth individuals in dispute with former partners as to where a child lives and whom the child should see (including such cases with an international element) as well as their religious upbringing and education.
