Edward Devereux KC
Spear’s Review
‘He is intellectually creative, always alive to appeal points and an excellent advocate in international children law,’ says a peer – a senior family solicitor – of Edward Devereux KC. Appointed KC in 2017, Devereux was at the time the youngest specialist family law barrister to be appointed KC in 20 years.
The Harcourt Chambers barrister’s reputation is clear from his superb CV, not least his involvement in 75 reported cases, including some of the most significant family law cases of recent years, including the representation of the parents of Archie Battersbee. He has appeared before the UK Supreme Court, the Court of Justice of the EU, the European Court of Human Rights and the US Supreme Court.
‘I don't see London as a capital city,’ Devereux tells Spear’s. ‘It’s an international city, and people will always come here for a divorce.’ Indeed, over the years global superstars have sought Devereux’s advice, from artist and son of Madonna Rocco Ritchie to Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner.
