Molly Mifsud

Molly Mifsud

Since becoming a tenant in October 2020 Molly has practised predominantly in Criminal and Family (Children and Finance) Law. More recently Molly has been specialising in Family Law and accepts instructions in Public and Private Children matters as well as Financial Remedy and Injunction matters. She also accepts instructions in Education and Court of Protection work. Molly's aim is to ensure that clients feel heard both in and outside of the Court room and receive thorough and realistic advice they can trust when making tough decisions. She is aware that coming to Court can have long lasting effects on those involved and endeavours to use problem solving strategies and take a global view to ensure that the best overall outcome is achieved for each client.   Within the Family Court Molly has been involved in a number of fact-finds including those involving coercive and controlling behaviour which was the topic of her LLM dissertation, 'Coercive Control: A Defence?' as well as issues of physical, emotional and psychological abuse. Whilst representing Rule 16.4 Guardians Molly has been involved with cases including allegations of child abuse and neglect and an external relocation case at a fact-find with live issues including imprisonment and child abduction. Having dealt with proceedings at all stages from the first to final hearings Molly is alive to evidential issues and approach of the Court and is able to advise on the merits of pursuing such allegations and advocate both for and against findings. At final hearings Molly has dealt with issues such as contact with grandparents, allegations of implacable hostility and arguments of care order vs supervision order and represented foster carers seeking SGOs. Molly also has experience of child and vulnerable witnesses both within the Family and Criminal Courts at contested hearings where she has put her (criminal) vulnerable witness training to use. Molly is able to accept instructions on a direct access basis.
