Nine Chambers

Nine Chambers is lauded as ‘a fantastic set of chambers with a wide spectrum of highly skilled counsel’ who are entrusted by a plethora of clients, including local authorities, guardians and grandparents, intervenors, children, and individuals represented by the Official Solicitor or a litigation friend. Sarah Kilvington ‘has a fantastic manner with clients’ and handles cases pertaining to both private and public law; the former side of her practice encompasses expertise in relocation, coercive control, and parental alienation, and the latter includes extensive experience in alleged fabricated illness or sexual abuse, as well as those involving gender-questioning children. Public law children proceedings constitute a key area of focus for the ‘fantastic’ Emma Greenhalgh, who appears before all levels of family court, and Emily Landale is notable in her private law practice due to her frequent representation of children's guardians. ‘Experienced and practical counsel’ Joanne Barnett is highly proficient in representing vulnerable clients who may have specific requirements on account of neurodiversity, learning disabilities, or psychiatric, personality, or psychological disorders.
