Barbara Corbett

Spear’s Review

A senior partner at Corbett Le Quesne, Barbara Corbett possesses a wealth of expertise in family law, ranging from divorce and financial settlements to pre-nuptial and other relationship agreements, including those that cross jurisdictions. 

Corbett, who is a member of the Association of Lawyers for Children, is experienced in complex cases involving children, including matters around surrogacy, child abduction and adoption. She also specialises in issues relating to child custody, particularly after contentious divorces. 

She co-founded the Jersey-based Corbett Le Quesne in 2017 and highlights its ethos to use ‘non-adversarial methods of reaching a consensus’ whenever possible. This is evident through her qualifications as a collaborative lawyer, family law arbitrator, a civil and commercial mediator and a family mediator. 

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’.
