‘Excellent family set’ Spire Barristers fields a team well known for advising across a wide range of complex public and private children law matters. The ‘indomitable’ Taryn Lee KC is ‘completely unflappable’; she recently appeared in a case involving a step-parent adoption application order, which was made by the partner of the biological father of a child born following a surrogacy arrangement between a male same-sex couple. Jacqueline Thomas KC is well versed in advising on cases involving serious injuries and sexual abuse. The ‘efficient’ Brett Davies has been kept busy representing local authorities in complex care cases. Reagan Persaud is ‘a very determined and confident advocate’, who is sought after for her expertise in handling cases involving fabricated or induced illness and parental alienation issues. Sarah Blackmore, as was, is now a District Judge.
