Position

David Balcombe KC combines clinical and professional negligence and professional discipline work with specialist matrimonial finance work (including pre-nuptial agreements). Whilst such a practice might be regarded as a curious mix, the range of his work and his transferable skills enable him to bring a breadth of vision and experience to his cases that are rarely available to the one topic specialist.
