The Domestic Violence & Injunctions Team at No.18 Chambers
The Domestic Violence & Injunctions Team at No.18 Chambers offers compassionate and effective legal support to those navigating some of the most distressing and urgent aspects of family law. Our barristers act swiftly and decisively, providing guidance and representation throughout every stage of proceedings—from emergency and ex-parte applications to return dates and contested final hearings. With expertise in applications brought under the Family Law Act 1996 and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, we regularly assist in securing Non-Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders to help protect the safety and wellbeing of our clients. We act for both applicants and respondents and are also instructed in committal proceedings, bringing robust advocacy and clear, pragmatic advice to what are often highly sensitive matters.
Our approach is grounded in professionalism, empathy, and a deep understanding of the emotional impact that domestic abuse and harassment can have. We prioritise client safety, dignity, and peace of mind, ensuring they feel supported and protected at every stage of the process. As part of a wider family law practice, our team is also experienced in handling interconnected issues such as child contact disputes, care proceedings, and family finance matters, where domestic abuse may be a relevant factor. At No.18 Chambers, we take pride in being approachable and responsive, providing urgent preliminary advice when needed and tailoring our services to the individual needs of each case.
