3PB welcomes family barrister Komal Patel
2nd December 2022
3 Paper Buildings (3PB) is delighted to welcome family barrister Komal Patel [2016 call] from Senate House Chambers in Northampton, who earlier had established a successful practice on the South-East Circuit.
Komal Patel, pictured here, has a busy practice in family disputes (private and public law children), often involving complex facts and serious allegations of domestic abuse, and also has a strong practice focused on matrimonial finance. She has an interest in cases involving mental health needs and cultural conflict.
Before coming to the Bar, Komal was an advocate in a national firm of solicitors, working in mental health law. She regularly appeared in the first-tier tribunal on behalf of patients detained under a variety of provisions, and the focus of her practice was on complex cases concerning patients in forensic services.
Vanessa Meachin KC, Head of 3PB's Family Law Group, said: "I am delighted to welcome Komal to our team. Komal has a strong reputation as a great family law advocate as I look forward to seeing her develop here.”
Komal will be joining former Senate House colleagues Kate Yeomans [2007 call] and Ayesha Bell-Paris [2012 call] who both started with 3PB in September.
To instruct Komal, please contact her clerk Patrick Robson by emailing him on [email protected] or by calling him on 01865 793 736.
