We are delighted to welcome Lyndsey Sambrooks-Wright, who has been an Associate Member of Chambers since 2019, as a full Member of Chambers.

Lyndsey specialises in Court of Protection and public family law and is an experienced family law mediator.

In the Court of Protection, Lyndsey regularly appears on behalf of the Official Solicitor, ALRs, family members and local authorities. She is instructed in a wide range of matters including welfare and deprivation of liberty issues, s21A challenges and cases under the inherent jurisdiction. Lyndsey has dealt with issues relating to forced marriage and capacity to marry, restrictions on internet use, physical abuse and medical issues.

Lyndsey’s extensive family law experience means that she is particularly well-placed to represent vulnerable clients in the Court of Protection, including in cases involving young people moving from local authority care to adult social care.

Lyndsey also has experience in property and affairs disputes, including in relation to Lasting Powers of Attorney and Deputies.

Lyndsey is regularly instructed across all areas of family law, including public law, private law and international family law. Lyndsey’s practice largely encompasses complex public law matters dealing with matters such as non-accidental injury (including Suspected Inflicted Head Injury resulting in death of the child); drug misuse and ingestion of drugs by children; serious sexual abuse; and radicalisation. She is well-versed in challenging complex medical evidence.

Lyndsey’s practice also encompasses international matters, including jurisdictional disputes and abduction. She has a special interest in cases involving transgender issues.

Lyndsey has been ranked as a leading Junior in The Legal 500 since 2020, and was shortlisted as Young Family Lawyer of the Year in 2012.
