The set:
Since its birth in 1988, 2DRJ has evolved into a diverse set whilst retaining the same ethos and focus on providing excellent bespoke advocacy services. Established over 45 years ago, 2DRJ is a leading Family and Criminal Law set based in the heart of the Inner Temple.
We are fortunate and extremely proud to have a number of members who sit as part-time judges in tribunals, the criminal and family courts.
Under the guidance of our Head of Chambers Mr Love, 2DRJ has grown significantly in size and prominence and its members are regularly to be found in high profile and leading cases at first instance, appellate level and in the High Court. 2DRJ is particularly known for the high quality of its advocacy, advice and client care and for its modern and approachable style.
2DRJ, The Chambers of Mark Love are highly regarded family finance practitioners who undertake the full range of matrimonial, cohabitee and partnership litigation and have extensive expertise in cases of high value including those where complex issues involving pensions, private companies and overseas assets exist. 2DRJ also provide pFDR services.
Our reputation in the field of children law is well-established and widely recognised in both private and public law. In private law, 2DRJ has renowned expertise in all forms of parental dispute including international relocation and child abduction. Public law work encompasses care, placement and adoption proceedings, often involving the most complex and severe cases of physical and sexual abuse.
2DRJ has a strong criminal team acting for both defence and prosecution from the Magistrates’ Courts to the Crown Courts and the Court of Appeal.
Many members accept instructions under the Bar Council’s Direct Access arrangements (Public Access | 2DRJ Barristers Barristers’ Chambers in London). 2DRJ also has a mediation service, with accredited mediators and arbitrators, including a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
2DRJ has a strong practice in coronial inquests, often arising from its expertise in healthcare and public law.
