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 enable her clients to appreciate the bigger picture, and to ensure they are given realistic expectations right from the beginning of the case.

‘I find that this engenders confidence and trust, and ultimately helps me to work as a team with my clients and ensure that their case is presented in the most attractive light,’ the family silk says. 

Renton has appeared in a number of important decisions related to children’s law – whether that be international child abduction (Hague and non-Hague), jurisdictional disputes, forced marriage or international contact disputes.
