Congratulations Barbara! Advocate Corbett has once again been listed as a Recommended Family Lawyer in the prestigious Spear's Family Lawyers Index. Barbara is the only family lawyer in the Channel Islands to be included in the list.

Spear’s Review

"Barbara Corbett, senior partner at Corbett Le Quesne, co-founded the Jersey-based specialist family law firm in 2017. She enjoys a busy practice comprising divorce and financial settlements, children work and prenuptial and other relationship agreements, including those that cross jurisdictions.

‘We always try to be holistic and look at the whole situation, rather than just make applications,’ Corbett tells Spear’s of her approach. ‘Most of our clients want to do things as amicably as possible, whether that’s by discussion and negotiation, or via mediation. Very few of our cases actually go to court.’

Her approach has been highly commended, with one client describing her as a ‘pioneering lawyer with unmatchable integrity, limitless energy and gritty determination to get the best results for her client’. "

"About the Spear’s Family Lawyers Index

The Spear’s Family Lawyers Index highlights the leading legal advisers specialising in high- and ultra-high-net-worth divorce, children, and financial matters. It showcases those at the top of their field, known for handling complex, high-stakes family high-stakes family law cases with discretion and expertise.

Inclusion in the index is based entirely on editorial merit and decided by the Spear’s Research Unit following an in-depth research process. Commercial arrangements do not influence inclusion or ranking."

Advocate Barbara Corbett said "I am of course delighted to be included in Spear's illustrious Family Lawyers Index again. It is a formidable list of lawyers and to be the only family lawyer in Jersey and indeed in the Channel Islands is a real honour. It shows that lawyers from Jersey can be recognised for the high level of work that takes place in the island. Clients can trust the value of such a high profile and well researched index as the one provided by Spear's 500 which is borne out by Corbett Le Quesne having another very successful year with some significant UHNW wins in court."
