@5SAHLaw are thrilled to sponsor the Inaugural Festive Family Law Conference which @GemmaLindfield has been organising with Chris Bryden from @4KingsBenchWalk . The event will be held at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne on 11 and 12 December 2025. Gemma and Chris had a vision of creating something different for the family law community. The title of the conference is: Opening Doors: An Advent Calendar of Legal Insights for Family Lawyers. Like opening a door on an Advent calendar, each session unveils a new topic from outside the world of family law — offering unexpected yet invaluable perspectives to enrich the work of family lawyers. Twelve legal insights. One festive journey.
The aim of the conference is to give busy family law practitioners a pause over the festive period, to learn from other legal disciplines as they relate to family law, indulge in wellbeing, give something back to the community and immerse themselves in a truly festive spectacular.
Corporate social responsibility is important to us at 5SAH and it is fantastic that the conference will support the local homeless community and that there will be a beach clean to support the marine environment.
Get booking today, Email [email protected] for a booking form.
Do not hesitate to ask Gemma or our family clerks Dean and Kyle for any further information.
We hope to see you there!

The 2025 Pro Bono Recognition List has been released.✨
The list shines a light on those who have completed 25 or more hours of pro bono work in the last year, plugging the gap time and time again.
This year, 617 barristers were recognised among the 4,780 lawyers named, a 30% increase in submissions from the Bar.

ALT Image featuring a quote about the Pro Bono Recognition List by Barbara Mills KC, Chair of the Bar Council, set against a backdrop of a justice scales. In the bottom right hand corner is a Bar Council logo. The quote reads: “The Pro Bono Recognition List shines a light on those lawyers who continue to step up time and time again to plug the gaps. The Bar’s own contribution has grown significantly. We are incredibly grateful for the time and care given by every individual on the list, but their goodwill should not replace the proper funding of legal aid to ensure everyone has access to justice.”

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Emma Patterson today. Emma was one of our directors and founder of our firm. She started Patterson Law in 2009 and grew it to what it is today. She will be greatly missed. Everyone at PL pass our condolences to her family.

I am thinking of organising a conference for defence lawyers (of which I am one) “effective & ethical defending in vulnerable witness cases” aimed at examining the challenges involved in defending clients fearlessly but also within proper boundaries. Good idea? Anyone interested?

The QCs argued that the message put the lord chief justice in jeopardy of “being seen as doing the job of a partisan enforcer for a government whose degrading of the justice system has been draining it of the very professionals on which it relies”.

Writing in a open letter to The Times – led by two former leaders of the association, Caroline Goodwin QC and Chris Henley QC — the lawyers told Burnett that the “timing, contents and tone of the guidance is being read by many of us . . . as little more than a pressure tactic”

In an open letter to Lord Burnett of Maldon, more than 70 of the country’s most experienced criminal lawyers objected to a message sent on Wednesday by the lord chief justice to crown court judges.

“Dozens of QCs have accused the lord chief justice of having “tainted” his independence by attempting to “intimidate” criminal law barristers who are striking over pay.”
