Chloe Hubbert, an associate at Oxfordshire firm Selby Lowndes Solicitors, has become the second female Chartered Legal Executive to be appointed to the judiciary and the first to become a Deputy District Judge.
Chloe, a family law specialist with more than 15 years of experience in family law, including divorce, financial matters, and private law children cases, will continue her work at Selby Lowndes alongside her new role. She qualified with the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) in 2006, and joined Selby Lowndes in 2015 from Blake Morgan.
Chloe’s appointment is the second of a CILEx judge this year and she is the second ever female CILEx judge, following the appointment of Elizabeth Johnson as judge of the First-tier Tribunal in January. Once Chloe takes up her position, there will
be a total of four Chartered Legal Executives sitting as judges.
Chloe commented: ‘I am very proud to have been appointed to the judiciary and to be one of the first Chartered Legal Executives to take up a DDJ position. It’s hard work but a great opportunity and I would encourage other CILEx lawyers to
consider applying.
‘Selby Lowndes has been hugely supportive of my application and appointment and are very much champions of the progression of Chartered Legal Executives, this year taking on the firm’s first Chartered Legal Executive Apprentice.’
