Siân Smith is a barrister specialising in divorce and children law. You can now instruct her directly, without the need for a solicitor, to help you achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Originally you could only instruct a barrister by going through a solicitor, so you had to pay a solicitor AND a barrister. Today you can instruct a barrister directly, which may save you time and money.

Siân focuses on providing considered, clear and practical advice from the outset of every case. This means each step in the process will be taken efficiently and effectively, thereby optimising the result whilst  minimising the costs.

Siân’s meticulous and forensic approach to her preparation means she is ideally suited to the financial complexities that are a feature of many divorce cases. She is an excellent performer in court where she marries her keen eye for detail with a ruthless use of careful persuasion. Siân’s skilful cross-examination technique  ensures every witnesses’ evidence is thoroughly tested.

Siân is a member of 42BR Barristers, one of the most highly respected chambers of family barristers in the country.  She is ranked as a leading junior in the Legal 500 for children and domestic abuse.
