Stephen Abberley is a family barrister based in Birmingham, formerly of Regents Chambers. He specialises in public law care cases, particularly those involving sexual abuse, fabricated illness, and cross jurisdictional issues. He offers niche expertise in cases related to complex medical issues and those concerning vulnerable adults, with experience in poisoning, resuscitation and induced suffocation matters.

3PB’s national head of the family team, Hamish Dunlop, said: ‘All three barristers are great additions to our specialist family team here and show our depth now in commercial, medical and pension issues affecting family disputes. This is now an exceptional family team with great work, great solicitor clients and great regard by the judiciary.’
