  • The Pupil Perspective

    The Pupil Perspective
    Sep 2 2025
    Mark hosts Alvaro Loxton, Hannah Tickle and Victoria Tickle - three of Pump Court's pupils, all of whom (along with their crime specialist co-pupil) were made tenants on their application. The pupils talk all things pupillage, including lessons learned and tips for the next generation. They discuss the positives and also the stress factors which exist not just in pupillage but at the Bar generally, commenting on the recent Bar Council pupil survey. Perhaps of particular interest is their take on what works and what does not work in the family justice system, coming in at entry level and in the case of Alvaro and Hannah, being able to compare it to the criminal and civil courts.

  • Introducing the Cohabitation Team

    Introducing the Cohabitation Team
    Aug 4 2025
    Maria, Samara and Tara of Pump Court join the pod for a special episode celebrating the launch of Pump Court Chambers' cohabitation team. We talk through what the team offers and the wide-ranging role that ENE can play, not just in TLATA or Schedule 1 cases but for suitable child arrangements disputes as well. We also talk through the latest opinions on cohabitation law reform and whether law-makers should allow for an element of personal autonomy when making the much-needed changes proposed.

  • Standish Returns

    Standish Returns
    Jul 28 2025
    The one you've all been waiting for... The UKSC handed down judgment in Standish v Standish on 2 July and the Family Law Podcast responded by rallying the troops and calling in reinforcements from Alex Brereton at Hunters solicitors to help talk through the ramifications of the Supreme Court's decision. We go through the litigation in the High Court and EWCA (quickly, don't worry) and then come to the meat of the matter and what the Supreme Court decided. We discuss whether it has really helped matters or whether the concept of matrimonialisation is in fact more discretionary than ever. The podcast ends with some invaluable insights from guest counsel Geoffrey Kelly and Maria Henty, as well as from Alex, as to how to run a case where you're seeking to ring-fence assets, or the reverse. A potted summary of a refreshingly short judgment and expert tips - what's not to love!
