Family set welcomes children and Court of Protection specialist

Family law set 4PB has appointed Imogen Mellor, previously of One Pump Court, expanding its expertise across private and public law children cases. Mellor has acted as sole counsel in care proceedings and international High Court cases. ‘I am excited for this new chapter at 4PB,’ she says.

Mellor also has a growing Court of Protection practice, advocating for vulnerable individuals, including those with mental health difficulties. She is developing a specialism in working with Deaf clients and is currently learning Sign Language. Her immigration law experience further strengthens her ability to advise on complex family matters.

Welcoming her appointment, Joint Head of Chambers Charles Hale KC says, ‘Imogen’s expertise will further strengthen our family law and Court of Protection teams.’
