I’m very excited to be able to announce that, in addition to my long-standing tenancy at @stiveschambers in Birmingham, I am taking up a door tenancy at @29BedfordRow in London and so I am now able to accept instructions via two oustanding sets.

Domestic abuse, s.25(2)(g) conduct and FR case management are very hot topics at present. I’ll be speaking about them at our @StIvesFamily seminar in November. This @fr_journal blog by @SamHillas, @OliviaPiercy2 and Anita Mehta is well worth reading now.
