International Women’s Day 2023

In honour and celebration of International Women’s Day 2023, we spotlight our International Child Abduction Team, all of whom are based in our Birmingham office.

Pam Sanghera, Director and Chartered Legal Executive leads the team representing clients nationally and internationally in relation to all family and children cases involving an international element. A specialist in child abduction and jurisdiction matters, Pam is a multiple award winning lawyer who is one of the very few lawyers specialising in this area outside of London. Many of Pam’s cases are often reported with some receiving national and international media coverage. Passionate about raising awareness of child abduction being on the rise in the UK, Pam often collaborates with ReUnite International, the leading charity dealing with parental child abduction and works with the International Child Abduction and Contact Unit (ICACU) as an accredited member.
