36Family,
the specialist family law team at 36 Bedford Row, London, is delighted to
welcome Valentine Le Grice QC who joins the team from the family law chambers

Val is one of the most experienced practitioners
dealing with matrimonial financial cases at the Bar. He has specialised in family law since joining

Throughout his career he has done mainly financial work, but always
combined with some private law children’s cases. He is recognised amongst the
leading family law Silks at the Bar by Chambers & Partners[1].
36Family has a growing reputation as one of the
leading sets of chambers for family law work.

law barristers, including three other family law Silks[2].
36Family is one of several specialist
practice groups within the innovative chambers structure operating from 36
Bedford Row, known as ‘The 36 Group’ [3]. Each practice group has its own identity and
its dedicated Practice Manager and clerking team. This innovative structure enables dynamic clerking
and marketing initiatives. Val Le Grice says: “I am attracted by the
opportunities presented by the structure at 36Family and look forward to
joining the team at 36Family”.
Head of 36Family, Andrzej Bojarski, said: “I am
thrilled that our development as a specialist family law team, especially in
our complex financial work, has reached the stage where a leading Silk such as
Val recognises us as a chambers in which he can continue and develop his
practice into the future. He adds real
weight to our team and I expect the move to work to our mutual benefit. I am sure he will relish the new and dynamic
ways in which we are developing as a chambers.”
The move was also welcomed by joint Head of the 36
Group, Richard Wilson QC: “It is rare
that a practitioner of Val’s seniority moves chambers and it is pleasing that
he recognises 36Family as the place he wants to be over the years to come. I am sure that after working in a single
specialism set, Val will also find it refreshing and beneficial to be able to
benefit from the expert knowledge and support of the other specialist teams in
the 36 Group when dealing with the most difficult cases.”
