4KBW’s @BrydenLaw guests, along with 5SAH’s @GemmaLindfield on the newly launched Family Law Friends Podcast, hosted by Sadie Glover of Blaser Mills Law and Estella Newbold-Brown of Amphlett Lissimore Solicitors. Listen here on Acast: feeds.acast.com/public/shows/f…

@5SAHLaw are thrilled to sponsor the Inaugural Festive Family Law Conference which @GemmaLindfield has been organising with Chris Bryden from @4KingsBenchWalk . The event will be held at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne on 11 and 12 December 2025. Gemma and Chris had a vision of creating something different for the family law community. The title of the conference is: Opening Doors: An Advent Calendar of Legal Insights for Family Lawyers. Like opening a door on an Advent calendar, each session unveils a new topic from outside the world of family law — offering unexpected yet invaluable perspectives to enrich the work of family lawyers. Twelve legal insights. One festive journey. The aim of the conference is to give busy family law practitioners a pause over the festive period, to learn from other legal disciplines as they relate to family law, indulge in wellbeing, give something back to the community and immerse themselves in a truly festive spectacular. Corporate social responsibility is important to us at 5SAH and it is fantastic that the conference will support the local homeless community and that there will be a beach clean to support the marine environment. Get booking today, Email famcon@4kbw.co.uk for a booking form. Do not hesitate to ask Gemma or our family clerks Dean and Kyle for any further information. We hope to see you there!

4KBW’s Jennifer Lanigan assisted Kesar and Co solicitors in securing significant damages in a long-running case against the Ministry of Justice concerning various breaches of the claimant's Article 8 rights

Every issue was disputed by the Defendant, including whether or not the Claimant was a 'victim' within the meaning of the Human Rights Act 1998. Nevertheless, the Claimant secured significant damages in settlement at an unprecedented level when compared to existing case law.

The claim concerned numerous interferences over several years with the Claimant's correspondence, including unlawful interferences with the Claimant's legal correspondence (termed 'rule 39' correspondence under the Prison Rules).

Jyoti Wood instructed by Mohit Vaghela of Attwater succeeded in securing serious and wide-ranging findings of physical, verbal and psychological abuse along with a finding of coercive and controlling behaviour after a multi-day fact finding hearing heard in Watford
