Direct Access Barrister

Katharine Bundell (4PB)

I am a highly experienced specialist family barrister at 4PB . . I advise on the financial aspects of divorce ( financial remedy), children issues after parental separation ( private law children), and financial provision for children of unmarried parents, which falls outside the Child Support Agency remit ( Schedule)

I work out of 4PB chambers. My financial remedy work is usually for high net worth individuals. I also advise on child arrangements, where children will live and how much time they spend with family members, after separation, and financial support for them including capital/income provision for children of unmarried but separated parents.

What sort of work do I do?

I advise on all aspects of financial remedy and divorce, particularly for clients with complex financial landscapes. This often includes division of property, pensions, corporate holdings, trusts, farms, and crypto-assets. I have always undertaken trusts of land work, particularly where a third party has an interest in a marital property or a party asserts an interest in a third party's property. This financial remedy work may encompasses divorce issues such as financial provision after foreign divorces/marriages and issues such as suspected bigamy. My children work often includes issues of domestic abuse including economic/ financial abuse, alienating behaviours and refusal of children to engage in child arrangements. Financial provision for children of unmarried parents is underused, hence I wrote a book on the subject.

Who do I work for?

My financial clients are often high net worth individuals. I will often represent clients in their financial and children matters, but some clients just have difficult, often intractable, children disputes. If a matter is to be suitable for direct access the client will need to have basic computer literacy and an understanding of their own financial situation, even though that often does not extend to the other party's position.
