Position

Paul Cregan has practised exclusively in family law throughout his long career at the Bar. In private law proceedings, he acts for parents to resolve often apparently intractable contact disputes and residence issues, international relocation and abduction (Hague and Brussels IIR parental abduction). He welcomes instructions for such cases through the Direct Access Scheme.

He also acts for parents, relatives, children and local authorities in care proceedings.  His work often involves serious and complex cases involving physical and emotional abuse and neglect as well as fact-finding hearings including FII (fabricated and induced illness). In non-accidental injury cases, including a recent case involving the death of a baby, he appears for parents and others who have found themselves in the pool of possible perpetrators.
