Family law can be a challenging area of the law to work in as it involves counselling clients who are going through difficult life experiences, such as the breakdown of a relationship or defending a child who is a victim of domestic abuse. It can also be rewarding as it provides an opportunity to make a real difference in clients’ lives.
