Harriet Phillips

I am a Family and Childcare Solicitor and Supervisor in the Birmingham office at Duncan Lewis Solicitors. I have experience handling a wide range of family and childcare matters. I am an accredited member of the Law Society Family Law Advanced Scheme specialising in private children law and domestic abuse.

My expertise extends to Section 8 child arrangements order proceedings where I represent clients in applications for child arrangements orders as well as in applications to vary and enforce existing child arrangements orders. I also handle applications for prohibited steps orders and specific issue orders, where I have had experience making successful applications to take the children on holiday to Non-Hague Convention countries which are dealt with in the High Court. I have also had conduct of two complex child arrangements order matters in the High Court where allegations of radicalisation were made.

I undertake the majority of my own advocacy and attend pro-bono legal advice clinics on a regular basis to provide assistance to victims of domestic violence.
