Coram Chambers recently welcomed the team from Birketts LLP for a bespoke training session on Modern Families led by barristers Rachel Cooper and Dr. Bianca Jackson.
This session, specially tailored to the interests and needs of Birketts’ solicitors, explored a range of contemporary issues affecting modern families – from surrogacy and donor conception to complex matters impacting trans children.
Rachel Cooper and Bianca Jackson, both highly regarded for their expertise in family law, delivered presentations drawing on real-world cases and the evolving legal landscape. The training sparked lively discussion among attendees, who appreciated the opportunity to tackle these nuanced areas of law in an interactive and supportive setting.
Jen Headon, Head of International Family at Birketts LLP, expressed her gratitude, saying, “A huge thank you to the fantastic team at Coram Chambers and especially Rachel Mary Cooper and Dr. Bianca Jackson (and, of course, [Coram Chambers Senior Clerk] Sean Gentleman) for hosting many of the Birketts LLP modern families team in chambers this afternoon. It was a fantastic canter through international surrogacy, donor and fertility law, as well as trans issues in a family law context, with some lovely refreshments before and after!”
Georgia Butterworth, Solicitor at Birketts LLP, added, “A lovely afternoon spent at Coram Chambers with truly fascinating talks about surrogacy, donor and fertility law – fast evolving and incredibly important areas of law which the Birketts LLP Modern Families Team continue to champion.”
