Details

Brett Davies, a specialist in the Family Court and the Court of Protection, has joined the Family & Public Law Teams at Spire Barristers.

The set said Davies, who was called to the Bar in 2008, has particular experience in dealing with cases involving children whose care plans amount to a deprivation of liberty within the meaning of Article 5 and require court authorisation.

Davies was awarded the People Lawyer of the Year at the Lawyers in Local Government Awards in 2017, when he was at Wakefield Council. He was highly commended in the Legal Professional of the Year in 2018.
