Grace Atkinson

Grace joined chambers in 2022 having successfully completed her common law pupillage under the supervision of Frazer McDermott. She accepts instructions in all areas of Family Law.

Grace has developed significant experience representing local authorities, parents and children in public law proceedings.

During her first few years of practice, Grace has acted in cases involving allegations of non-accidental injuries, physical and sexual abuse. This includes recent representation of children required to give oral evidence in respect of those allegations.

In addition to this, Grace has experience representing parents and children in private law proceedings, particularly in cases involving allegations of domestic abuse and parental alienation.
