Dere Street Barristers

Elizabeth has a reputation as a forceful advocate who relishes contested hearings. She is adept at putting clients at ease but does not shy from challenging them when necessary. Elizabeth currently practises in child work exclusively although historically has practised in all common law areas and ancillary relief. As a mother to a very young child, Elizabeth understands the pressures on the parents involved in the cases she handles, which is invaluable whether representing parents, local authorities or the children subject of the proceedings. Elizabeth has experience in all child work at all levels.
