Fabian qualified as a solicitor in 1990, after obtaining his law degree from Aberystwyth University. He has been a member of the Law Society Children Panel since 1994 and specialises in public law cases concerning children, skilfully acting for parents, children, or wider family members in respect of care orders where local authorities are seeking to remove children. He regularly deals with a broad spectrum of cases involving allegations of non-accidental injury, substance abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. His work spans the counties of Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and beyond.
In addition to care and supervision orders, Fabian has over 30 years’ expertise and extensive legal knowledge in acting for children in applications for deprivation of liberty orders, applications for leave to oppose adoption orders, and in applications for leave to discharge care orders. Fabian also represents children in the more complex private law cases of parental dispute where children are joined as parties.
Fabian has vast experience in representing both parents and children. He regularly meets child clients with their guardians, and provides a reassuring, empathetic and sensitive perspective. He has experience of neurodiversity and how to engage and communicate effectively when acting for parents or children with additional needs, and has a calm and measured approach. His parent clients find him to be non-judgmental, warm, and hugely supportive. He provides tailored and personalised guidance, treating each client as an individual, and regularly receives positive feedback for his valuable and constructive advice and insight.
Fabian has developed an excellent professional reputation over the past 35 years among fellow solicitors, CAFCASS, barristers, judges, and other children experts as an approachable, collaborative and trusted public law specialist. He is well respected amongst his peers for his integrity and as someone who is passionate about the law. He undertakes the majority of his court work himself where possible, and is a highly skilled and effective advocate. He is adept at sourcing and instructing bespoke medical and other experts where needed.
Outside of work, Fabian is married with three adult children. You will find him regularly testing his general knowledge at local pub quizzes, cheering on his beloved Watford FC, or watching cricket.
