What the Team is Known For

42BR Barristers is a well-established set with a range of barristers able to handle complex matrimonial finance and children law matters. Members have extensive experience in finance-related issues, including those arising from the breakdown of civil partnerships, divorces with international elements, pre- and postnuptial agreements, and cases involving company assets, pensions and trusts. In addition to this, the set can offer clients members with significant expertise in public and private children law, including care proceedings, adoptions, abductions and radicalisation. An interviewee comments: "The barristers have a great range of skills." A different source states: "The barristers are friendly and approachable, they have a great knowledge of the law."
