Welcome to the latest edition of the Briefing from the Family Team at Deka Chambers with articles by Francesca Kolar and Al Hogarth.
At the end of a month of Pride celebrations across the country, in this edition of the Briefing we look at some issues of particular interest to the LGBTQ+ community.
Francesca Kolar provides an overview of the legal framework for surrogacy in this jurisdiction and makes the case for a wholesale review.
Al Hogarth considers 2 first instances cases in relation to treatment for teenagers who wish to transition, where the child consents but a parent opposes such treatment.
Deka Chambers is one of the largest common law sets in the country. We have a strong and experienced team of barristers who provide advocacy and advice in all areas of family law.
In the Family Team at Deka Chambers we have a number of barristers who have specific experience of the legal complexities that arise in relation to assisted reproduction, child arrangements, legal parenthood, marriage and family finance concerning LGBTQ+ parents and partners.
We are also very pleased to announce that Nerys Wyn Rees will be joining the Family Team at Deka Chambers from August 2024.
