Children's law specialist Piers Pressdee QC joins 4PB
Leading family law chambers 4PB is pleased to welcome Piers Pressdee QC to its set. Piers joins 4PB from 29 Bedford Row, and will be practicing exclusively in the field of children law. His expertise will be an asset to 4PB’s established set of silks, renowned for their work in children law and matrimonial finance. 


Widely regarded as one of the country’s leading children lawyers, Piers took silk in 2010, and is a former co-chair of the Association of Lawyers for Children. He joins 4PB with a breadth of experience covering complex domestic and international cases but has unique expertise in parental alienation, relocation (international and domestic) and LGBT+ parenting.

Our children's law practice continues to take on the most complex and challenging case work which we're delighted Piers will now be able to advise on, ensuring our team continue to deliver the best outcome for our clients. " 

Piers said: “I am thrilled to be joining the set as I have long admired 4PB’s children’s team. I look forward to working alongside Alex and the set in representing families during this difficult time.”
