Wednesday 07 August 2024

An experienced family lawyer with more than 25 years’ experience has joined Ardent Chambers.

Specialising in divorce or dissolution of civil partnerships, separation agreements, financial settlements, children arrangements and pre-nuptial agreements, Advocate Françoise Binet brings her strong relationships with other members of the Family Bar and local family separation charities to the team at Ardent Chambers.

Called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1998 and admitted as an English Solicitor in 2002, Françoise was employed as an English Solicitor at Benest & Syvret, before setting up her own practice, Binet Law in 2015.

Throughout her career, Françoise has been passionate about alternative dispute resolution and is known for her track record of resolving matters by agreement rather than through the court. She joins Advocate & NED Caroline Dutot and Litigators Michael Cushing and Michael O’Connell at Ardent Chambers.

Of her appointment, she said: “I am very pleased to be joining the team at Ardent Chambers adding Family Law to the suite of services they provide.”

Co-founder of Ardent Chambers Advocate Caroline Dutot added: “Françoise brings a wealth of experience and outstanding connections to Ardent Chambers. Her expertise in family law is unparalleled and we are very lucky to have her on board.”
