Accessible, sensitive expertise.

Recent

The Family team offers specialist advocacy and advice in all areas of family law. Tooks Chambers' commitment to social justice, when applied to family law, means not only a commitment to publicly funded work but also expert and fearless advocacy on behalf of parents, children, and local authorities in pursuit of the welfare of children. To lay clients we offer an understanding and sympathetic approach grounded in professionalism, integrity, and service. The Family team enjoys cross-fertilisation of information and expertise from Tooks' other outstanding specialist teams, such as immigration, education & children's public law, and crime.

Our expertise includes:

  • Domestic violence, harassment and enforcement
  • Care proceedings
  • Adoption
  • Cases involving immigration issues
  • Cases involving mental health issues or learning difficulty
  • Cases involving the Official Solicitor or the Court of Protection
  • Judicial review
  • Child abduction and other international issues
  • The inherent jurisdiction of the High Court
  • Ancillary relief
  • Residence and contact

Members of the Family team have lectured, broadcast and published widely. Training for both lawyers and non-lawyers can be arranged and tailored to meet clients' needs. Members are also active in organisations which promote the rights of women and children such as Women's Aid and ROW; our commitment to social justice and human rights is the very reason we practice from Tooks Chambers.

The size of the Family team ensures a personalised service to professional clients, with a dedicated Family Clerk, Diane King.
