Spear’s Review

An experienced advocate with expertise across the matrimonial spectrum, Francesca Dowse of 4PB comes with a glowing testimony from a fellow senior family lawyer. Other colleagues praise the barrister’s highly persuasive advocacy, her tactical mindset and her personable approach.

Dowse is regularly instructed in international disputes, including in complex offshore cases involving trusts and partnerships. She has also advised on international prenuptial agreements, the relocation of children (particularly to non-Hague Convention countries) and Inheritance Act provision as it relates to matrimonial disputes.

Called to the Bar in both England and Wales and the Cayman Islands, she is a member of, among other organisations, the Family Law Bar Association, the Free Representation Unit and the Bar Pro Bono Unit.
