Charmaine Clubb

Charmaine accepts instructions in respect of public and private law children matters, matrimonial finance disputes and applications under Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996. During pupillage, Charmaine spent three months observing the full spectrum of care work, including infant death, serious neglect and sexual abuse under the supervision of Philip McCormack.

Earlier this year, Charmaine was led on behalf of a local authority in a 20-day composite final hearing involving a constellation of concerns around domestic abuse, substance misuse and mental health. More recently, Charmaine acted for a mother in a three-day fact-finding hearing involving cross-allegations of domestic abuse. The Judge ultimately found that all five of the mother’s allegations of physical abuse and coercive and controlling behaviour were proven, and all five of the respondent’s allegations were unproven.
