Pump Court Chambers

Alex McHugh has a mixed practice with an emphasis on family law.

He accepts instructions across private children, financial remedy, and Family Law Act proceedings, as well as in cohabitation claims and committal applications.

Alex also defends clients in the Crown court and maintains a civil litigation practice, largely in property and commercial disputes.

Prior to joining chambers, Alex worked as a paralegal at a Legal 500 leading firm in London, during which time he practiced private family law for three years, as well as crime and civil litigation concurrently for two years. Having worked in law since 2016, Alex has gained a wealth of practical experience. He prides himself on his client-handling skills and his knowledge of what solicitors require from Counsel.

Alex lives in both London and the West Country, meaning he is readily available to accept instructions on both circuits.

In his spare time, Alex enjoys playing for and running his Sunday league football team, cooking, and being involved in local politics.
