About chambers:
4PB is a leading set of specialist family law barristers, renowned for its cutting-edge expertise in all family law issues, both domestically and abroad. From senior silks to bright and well-trained juniors, all members of 4PB offer expert legal advice, effective and assured advocacy, and practical solutions to difficult problems.
We have a distinguished legal history, from members being appointed as judges in the High Court and the Court of Appeal, to sitting in the Family Court as District and Circuit Judges. In October 2021 we relocated from our base in the traditional setting of Inner Temple to modern premises. Our new premises reflect our modern approach, as well as our commitment to non-court dispute resolution.
Our size, practice range, reputation and expertise are unrivalled and mark us out as unique amongst other family law chambers in London. Our members are regularly instructed in complex family disputes, and we are proud to continue our rich history of representing people from all walks of life – from ultra-high-net-worth individuals to those with no recourse to public funds.
