@michael_allum @targetjobsUK @Jessica_ODB Just for you!

@FStewartQEB @targetjobsUK @Jessica_ODB Any chance you can save me a water bottle?!

Come and see QEB at @targetjobsUK national pupillage fair at Lincoln's Inn today with all your pupillage and Family Bar questions @Jessica_ODB. Officially confirmed that we have the best freebies.

Terrific summary of BI v EN [2024] EWFC 200 (Fam) by @cullis_sophie here tinyurl.com/4wh2zrkj. Decision of Cusworth J re extent to which outcome of W’s application for FR should be impacted by the ‘Contrat de Mariage’ (the elected séparation de biens property regime). (1/2)

Delighted to have worked with the one and only Anna Shadbolt in this pro-bono case.

Touching tribute to Roberts J penned by my former roommate Oliver Wise: financialremediesjournal.com/content/jenny-…

Interesting case in which I appeared led by @Stewartqeb , against Tim Bishop of @OneHareCourt and Jeni Kavanagh of @1GCFamilyLaw . Compensation principle engaged and reflected in a way not previously seen in case law: to bring pre-acquired wealth within ambit of sharing principle

We're all the better for having wonderful colleagues to bounce ideas off, and @hrmcampbell is no exception. Very happy he is joining us today:- qeb.co.uk/barristers/har…

I am honoured to have been asked to speak at this event at my old school on the legal sector. Dread to think how much has changed since leaving over a decade ago!

Please join us for the first of our new “Enterprising Women” careers & networking events at Denstone College. We welcome speakers from a variety of sectors including education, real estate, marketing, and technology. This event is open to everyone including parents, pupils, staff and Old Denstonians. We will start at 7pm and finish off the evening with drinks, nibbles and networking. Please RSVP to choran@denstonecollege.net

Please do consider voting for @LoizouLucy for election to Resolution’s National Committee. As founding member of National YRes and buckets of experience keeping us all in check at iFLG I know she’ll make an enormous positive contribution if elected.

On Monday next week significant amendments to the FPR come into effect. 29 April 2024 could be a landmark moment for NCDR. No longer to be seen as an ‘alternative’ to litigation, but the first, and for many only, port of call. #NCDR #mediation #arbitration #evaluation

This case concerned a dog under the care of a mentally and physically disabled human. It clarified the approach to deciding whether a dog should be destroyed following their human companion’s conviction under s.3(1) of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Read rb.gy/prq2dj

The final written judgment allowing Yosser's appeal has now been handed down. Yosser will soon be let out of police kennels. Fitzgerald v CPS [2024] EWHC 869 (Admin): bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

Spring 24 edition online now. Loads of good stuff in here, but everyone should probably read @DuncanBrooks1 piece. The fact that instructive material of this quality is free online sans paywall is cool.

** Calling family law pupillage applicants ** Join us for a live mock interview and Q&A for an insight into the interview process and tips for success. Excited to be part of this event alongside such brilliant colleagues. Do share with your networks- all welcome! @WiFLaw

If you’re preparing for pupillage interviews this year do come along - if only to watch me back in the hot seat after 5 years and being reminded myself that interviews can be daunting!

Animal protection can get very academic when it’s all case papers, legal textbooks and codes of practice. Nice to spend a day getting hands on - volunteering with mucking out the pig pens and feeding the animals - at FRIEND farm animal sanctuary in Kent.

A new judgment from Sir Jonathan Cohen on funding maintenance out of debt.

With his signature concision and thoroughness, @michael_allum has turned round this excellent primer/summary on Potanin in less than half a day - the proceedings below, the ratio of the UKSC majority judgment, and its likely impact going forward.

QEB are proud to offer a mini pupillage as a prize in this excellent competition
