The 36 Group

The 36 Group is praised as ‘a great set with fabulous advocates ranging from junior right up to KC’. One such member is Andrzej Bojarski KC, who is ‘invaluable in cases involving high-value assets, disputed valuations, issues of non-disclosure, and applications for interim financial relief’. Turning to the set’s notable strength in the junior ranks, Niki Langridge, ’a tremendous advocate with encyclopaedic knowledge of the law‘, is especially noteworthy in cases concerning business assets, trusts and inheritance-related matters, and third party interests. With ’a very elegant and understated style of advocacy‘, Christopher Carr boasts expertise in cases surrounding significant assets. ’Meticulous in his preparation‘, Gwynfor Evans is strong in matrimonial finance and Schedule 1 cases, while Rhys Taylor is lauded as one of the ’most impressive juniors in family finance and cohabitation cases’.  Hannah Justiva joined the team in September 2025.
