Chambers is delighted to announce that Jyoti Wood has joined 1GC Family Law effective immediately, 

Jyoti specialises in Family law, Public and Administrative and Human Rights law. Her family practice encompasses all areas of Family law with a particular focus on children and cases involving domestic abuse. Jyoti has appeared at all levels up to the Court of Appeal.

Her practise has included four cases of particular importance: M v M [2025], where the High Court allowed an appeal against a Family Court Final Order permitting the relocation of 3 young children: the appeal turned on complex issues relating to parental mental health; Lill v Secretary of State for Justice [2024] EWHC 3192, a landmark statutory interpretation case in a ‘special court’ convened by the Court of Appeal; GM v GF [2022] EWFC 84 concerning allegations of sexual abuse of a child by the father and DPP v Barreto [2019] EWHC 2044 which prompted legislative change.

Andrew Norton KC and Sally Stone KC "We are thrilled to welcome Jyoti to 1GC. Her impressive track record in family law, including in the family aspects of Administrative Law and Immigration as well as financial remedies and COP. will be a tremendous asset to Chambers and our clients.”
