Deirdre Fottrell KC is a leading silk who is recognised for her expertise in matters relating to surrogacy and broader fertility issues. She is also praised by sources for her international expertise in child adoption and has additional experience in relocation and abduction matters. Fottrell further handles domestic child disputes involving cases of abuse and radicalisation.
Strengths
Deirdre has almost magical skill. She is able to reduce complex detail into clarity, and is one of London's most outstanding advocates.
She provides clients with high level strategic advice from the outset of a case and fights for them hard in court. She is a silk of choice for children work.
Deidre is the absolute star of the children bar; she is phenomenal and always has the ear of the court.
