Jennifer joined 42 Bedford Row in 2017 on completion of pupillage in chambers and has a wide range of experience in civil and family law.
In 2015 Jennifer worked as an intern with the charity Amicus ALJ, assisting on death penalty trials and appeals in Louisiana. She remains involved in, and an enthusiastic supporter of, their work.
Accepting instructions in all areas of private children law, Jennifer appears for clients at all stages of the Child Arrangements Programme. She understands the human aspect of this process and has extensive experience of cases involving unrepresented parties.
Jennifer is instructed within proceedings encompassing a diverse range of issues, including child arrangements for contact and residence, prohibited steps and specific issue orders, and regularly acts in fact finding hearings, including those involving allegations of serious domestic violence and sexual abuse. Jennifer represents parents and other family members, and lay-clients have described their feeling reassured by her representation and presentation of their case at court.
Jennifer regularly appears in applications under the Family Law Act 1996 for occupation and non-molestation orders.
We are delighted to welcome Vondez Phipps and Jennifer Youngs as full tenants of Chambers on 1st October following successful completion of their pupillage. We wish them a very successful career at the Bar.
