Hundred Court Chambers boasts ‘a wide range of experienced barristers’ who have notable expertise spanning across both public and private law cases, and they also handle legal aid matters; this diversity is especially present in the practices of ‘highly respected family barrister’ Arlene Milne and Teleri Jones. Head of the family practice Carl Gorton acts almost exclusively in public law proceedings and predominately represents parents, and Ian McArdle is another key port of call for children-related mandates.
