Position
Nick Brown, originally from the West Country, has been at St Philips throughout his time at the Bar. In 2006, he completed a broad-based pupillage here and, as a new tenant, practised across a range of fields. He now practises in the area of care proceedings and also has experience of cases involving wardship, forced marriage and FGM.
Nick represents local authorities, parents and children across the Midlands. He has experience of cases involving inflicted injuries, sexual abuse (including inter-sibling), CSE, parents with learning disabilities, the placement of children in foreign jurisdictions, allegations of the murder of one parent by another, and relinquishment for adoption on a confidential basis.
Nick has joined with other members of Chambers in providing seminars and lectures to solicitors and social workers throughout the region. He has published a number of articles in the area of children law (including a series short-listed for the inaugural Family Law Awards and taught at university level). He has also acted as a pupil supervisor and is a member of the pupillage committee.
Nick is very committed to what he does and aims to provide a highly professional service in a manner, he hopes, that is both approachable and sympathetic.
