Family: divorce and financial remedy

1 King’s Bench Walk boasts ‘phenomenal depth and strength across the board for both money and children and is unique in that regard’. ‘A leading light of the financial remedy Bar,’ Philip Marshall KC is a key silk at the set who is sought after for his notable expertise in finance matters with an international element, and he is also active in the drafting of nuptial agreements. Lauded as ’the best cross-examiner at the family bar‘, Charles Howard KC represents ultra-high-net-worth and high-profile clients from the business, sport, and media industries. Joint head of chambers Christopher Pocock KC ’is one of the leading silks in matrimonial finance‘ and is highly experienced in proceedings surrounding corporate and business assets, trusts, and asset-holding structures. Among the set’s juniors, the ’supremely calm’ Jennifer Palmer is highly experienced in handling maters surrounding high-value assets, and Peter Newman ‘is the best junior for complicated financial matters’. Complex corporate and tax elements are a key feature of Richard Castle‘s practice; he is lauded as ’the best junior barrister doing financial remedy proceedings‘. ’Star of the family law world‘ Katherine Kelsey MCIArb is a key player in both the children and finance arenas. Mark Betts was appointed senior clerk in March 2025.
