Spear's Review

Anita Guha KC is a highly regarded family law silk at 1 King’s Bench Walk, known for her expertise in children law, particularly cases with an international dimension. Experienced in representing vulnerable adults and young people, she takes on matters involving domestic abuse, cross-border relocation and child abduction. 

While many of her private clients come from the financial sector, her practice remains deliberately broad, encompassing both high-value and publicly funded work.

Guha has observed a growing trend of clients coming to her for support long before proceedings begin.

‘They are seeking legal advice very, very early on in the process – sometimes months before litigation actually commences,’ she tells Spear’s.

A significant part of her role involves managing expectations around evidence, procedure and court delays, while helping clients understand the many factors that can influence outcomes in family proceedings. She is also a qualified arbitrator in children matters.

High-profile cases include A Father v A Mother (No2) (Art 21 Findings of Fact) [2025], AOX v LSX [2024] and HZ v GA [2024].
