Glen joined our Family & Divorce team in 2022 following a successful career as a solicitor working for a Local Authority where he focussed on children law, representing them in a range of hearing from contested interim removal applications to Deprivation of Liberty hearings in the High Court.

Since joining the team, Glen has built on his local authority experience whilst also developing his practice to representing parents and children, both directly and via their court-appointed Children’s Guardians. This has included having the conduct of fact-finding hearings and assisting Leading Counsel in more complex matters, in all levels of the Court.  Forced Marriage and Adoption proceedings have also featured in his practice since joining St John’s, and this is something Glen is more than happy to advise on.
