Jacqueline Renton KC

Spear’s Review

Whether representing pop stars such as Madonna – a case which propelled the 4PB barrister into the headlines – or privacy-conscious financiers, international children law specialist Jacqueline Renton KC tells Spear’s her aim is always to help her clients to see the bigger picture.

‘I have a very clear, instinctive insight into what the shape of the case should be and the strategy from the start,’ she says. It is then just about ‘ensuring that the strategy is promulgated throughout the case from start to finish’.

Renton has appeared in a number of important decisions related to children’s law; her work often involves international child abduction and relocation, jurisdictional disputes, forced marriage or international contact disputes. Her approach is to be ‘robust in court, but compassionate to clients’.
