We are delighted to announce that Chambers and several of our members have been recognised in three categories for the prestigious Family Law Awards.

Chambers has been shortlisted for Family Chambers of the Year: London.

Alev Giz and Eleri Jones have been shortlisted for Junior Barrister of the Year, an apt recognition of their contribution to the profession and the strength of their practice.
