Biography
Prior to joining Chambers as a Probationary Tenant in the Family Team, Jack completed his pupillage at another London set. Within family law, Jack accepts instructions in financial remedies, private children law, public children law and family law act proceedings.
Prior to pupillage, Jack spent two years as a paralegal at a Legal 500 leading firm in the Thames Valley, where he worked on cases in all areas of private family law. He gained experience working on financial remedies cases ranging from High New Worth cases (including those with complex business issues and international elements) to strictly needs driven cases. In addition, Jack assisted with TOLATA claims between cohabiting couples, as well as intervener issues and claims under the Married Women’s Property Act 1882. Jack also gained experience in dealing with private children cases including child arrangement applications and applications under the 1980 Hague Convention.
Jack is personable and remains calm under pressure. He provides reassurance and confidence to both lay and professional clients, explaining issues clearly and pragmatically outside the courtroom and championing their interests within it.
