Judy Claxton‘s practice exclusively focuses on public children law work, and she is especially skilled in handling proceedings surrounding significant and fatal injuries, as well as significant allegations of sexual abuse. Laura Martin undertakes both private and public law work, with expertise in proceedings surrounding forced marriages and FGM; she is highly praised as ’extremely intelligent, quick on her feet, empathetic and understanding with clients‘. 2024 saw Steven Veitch, Zoe Henry, Marie Huggins, and Sarah Beasley join the set to considerably bolster its family law offering.
