Family barrister Frida Dahlqvist moves to 3PB

14th October 2024

Frida Dahlqvist (2014 call) has moved to 3PB (3 Paper Buildings) from KCH Garden Square Chambers in Nottingham/Leicester where she is a much-requested family barrister with a strong practice in care proceedings and private law children disputes. Frida is also renowned as a highly effective cross-examiner and attended FLBA’s “Advocacy and the Vulnerable” training course.

In care proceedings, Frida Dahlqvist is frequently instructed by local authorities but also has extensive experience of representing parents and children, with her instructing solicitors appreciating her excellent client care and strong ability to effectively communicate with vulnerable and challenging clients.

Frida is commended by clients in Chambers UK and Legal 500 alike as "very compassionate with clients", a "calm but effective advocate", whose "forensic attention to detail is second to none and really shines through in complex cases, particularly with a medical element and with "a keen eye for detail which has been an asset in complex care proceedings cases concerning factitious illness and allegations of sexual abuse." Frida recently appeared in a high profile shaken baby case, whose murder by a teenager was widely reported in the media.

Frida has also built up a strong private law children practice and regularly acts for parents and Guardians in these disputes. She has experience with international and domestic relocation cases, cases involving serious allegations of abuse and intractable hostility to contact. Many cases have involved disputes over a child’s residence.

Frida Dahlqvist said: "I’m delighted to be joining 3PB’s excellent team of family law barristers. 3PB have an outstanding national reputation for advocacy, client care and legal insight. I’m looking forward to my clients benefitting from my new chambers' services and helpful practice managers, on my full return from maternity leave in September 2025.”

Vanessa Meachin KC, Head of 3PB's 88-strong Family Law Group, said: “I am delighted to welcome Frida to 3PB. She attracts excellent client feedback and is well known on the Midlands Circuit. I look forward to seeing her career develop here."

Frida Dahlqvist's recruitment follows the news last month that three specialist property barristers had also joined 3PB from KCH Garden Square: Oliver Nunn (call: 2011), Kinza Wahid (call:2021) and Emma Shiels (call:2021).
