National Siblings Day

Today we’re recognising sisters Jo and Natalie Oakes, who both practise in family law and work side by side here in Chambers.

Starting their careers as solicitors, they each made the transition to the Bar — and now, not only do they share a surname, but a workplace and a passion for supporting families through the legal system.

To mark the day, we’re sharing a childhood photo — a reminder of the journey from family life to family law.
