I have been undertaking direct access work for a long while now, and have experience in being able to handle clients directly, maintain effective communication and manage expectations with a view to obtaining the best result possible.

Nathan Alleyne-Brown regularly appears in low level cases through to more complex and sensitive cases involving children both in the Public Law and Private Law spheres at County Court and High Court level including occasional appeal hearings.

Nathan represents parents, alleged perpetrators of injuries including intervenors, grandparents and wider family members, children represented through their CAFCASS Guardians and children instructing their own solicitors.

The areas of work covered include all aspects of physical, emotional and sexual abuse (including those which are the subject of medical dispute in cases where a child has suffered multiple broken bones and injuries and cases of serious physical chastisement particularly families from Afro Caribbean and African heritage).

Nathan’s experience as a criminal defence advocate has propelled him into being a robust and firm defender of human rights for adults and children.

Nathan also represents individuals in matrimonial financial remedy proceedings, ranging from small, medium and occasionally high asset value proceedings in contested proceedings following divorce.
