Chambers welcomes family practitioner and founder of The Advocacy Coach 

4PB has welcomed Bibi Badejo to chambers, reinforcing its expertise in both public and private family law. Badejo, formerly of Four Brick Court, is widely recognised for her work in complex and sensitive matters, including non-accidental injuries and fabricated or induced illness. ‘I am excited to join 4PB at this point in my career,’ she says.

A Leading Junior in The Legal 500, Badejo is praised as a ‘compelling advocate with a serene demeanour’ who demonstrates ‘great skill and confidence in court’. Outside the courtroom, she is a respected figure in advocacy training, delivering programmes globally and founding both The Advocacy Coach and The Advocacy Podcast, with a worldwide reach.

Welcoming her to chambers, joint head of chambers Charles Hale KC said, ‘Bibi’s experience and approach will bring fresh insight and energy to the work we do.’
