Corinne Iten

Chambers of Oba Nsugbe KC, South East

Position

Corinne has a special interest in public law cases. In 2010 she spent 4 months on secondment as in-house counsel for a local authority, working in the Children section of the Legal Services Department. During that time she not only gained valuable insight into the everyday conduct of Public Law Children cases but also she had the opportunity to advise on policy in such areas as provision of services for care leavers and the local authority’s duties towards unaccompanied asylum seekers. In addition, Corinne works with applicants and respondents in residence, contact and relocation disputes, including those where there are allegations of domestic violence.

Corinne practises in family law her caseload includes Public Law Children and Private Law Children. She has acted in many cases involving vulnerable adults and has advised in a Wardship case on the powers the court would have when the young person reached majority. Corinne’s experience makes her a natural fit for Court of Protection work.

Career

Corinne has been a tenant at Pump Court Chambers since 2007 after joining as a pupil in 2006. She was called to the Bar in 2006 (Inner Temple). Corinne read Linguistics at University College London (BA in 1996, PhD in 2000) and held post-doctoral positions at UCL and Carleton University, Ottawa, between 2000 and 2003.

‘Corinne is an excellent advocate, putting her client’s case strongly and clearly while remaining conscious of the law, the current practice and policies and the needs of all parties. She is vulnerable witness trained and ensures that the proper practices are put into action while being pragmatic about an individual witness’s needs and wishes, and she is very analytical and clear in her case plan and interrogation and she prepares hugely helpful position statements and skeleton arguments setting out the law and her client’s position clearly and with proper force.’
