Family"Maggie Jones comes highly recommended for her impressive handling of the most complex children matters. "She is enthusiastic and dedicated to children law, and just a great barrister to work with in complex and challenging cases." "Garden Court Chambers is the 'chambers of choice for care work', and 'the barristers are always dedicated and committed to the cases and clients'. Individuals of note include Ian Peddie QC, who is 'very thorough in his cross-examination, and is excellent at pulling the evidence together', and 'experienced and tenacious advocate' Maggie Jones, who 'is enthusiastic and dedicated to children law'." "Garden Court Chambers' team of barristers 'responds quickly and efficiently', and 'provides a wide choice and availability of counsel'. The set is known for handling complex and novel cases. Among the 'dedicated, empathetic and realistic' individuals is Ian Peddie QC, a leading figure in child abuse cases who recently handled three serious alleged non-accidental head injury (shaking) cases in which the child died." The Family Team are a well respected and highly committed team of family practitioners specialising in children's law. The team is best known for public law children work, acting for children, parents and local authorities in care and adoption proceedings, but we also do a wide range of other work, including private law children work and cases involving forced marriages, foreign adoptions, surrogacy and child abduction. We come from a wide range of backgrounds, and some of our members were previously solicitors on the Children's Panel. Between us we have a unique range of skills, expertise and experience equipping us to face the increasingly complex challenges of family law. We have been involved in some very high profile cases over the last few years and are regularly instructed in complex and serious cases, but are equally committed to cases in the lower courts where the outcome for the clients is equally significant. We consider that client care is extremely important, both in terms of going the extra mile for lay clients and working closely with solicitors on cases. We are all members of Garden Court Chambers because of our commitment to social justice and civil liberties which lies at the heart of all children's law cases The inter-disciplinary expertise within Chambers is unrivalled. Having easy access to the expertise of colleagues specialising in immigration, housing, welfare benefits, mental health, community care and crime and being able to work closely with them in particular cases is an enormous advantage for us as a Family Team. Within Chambers there are top practitioners who are routinely consulted in cases that involve crossovers between family law and other areas of law, both as practitioners and as experts. We are known for our warm, user friendly approach, as is our specialist team of clerks. Our aim is to work together to provide the best possible service to solicitors and lay clients alike. The team also writes a Family Law Blog, covering all aspects of children's law. Family ClerksOur Family Team is supported by its own dedicated team of clerks.
