Barbara Corbett

Spear’s Review

Senior partner at Corbett Le Quesne, Barbara Corbett possesses a wealth of expertise in family law ranging from divorce and financial settlements to pre-nuptial and other relationship agreements, including cross-jurisdictional pre-nuptial agreements. Corbett is also a member of the Association of Lawyers for Children and consequently is experienced in complex cases involving children such as surrogacy, child abduction and adoption. She also specialises in issues relating to child custody, particularly after messy divorces. 

She joined the Jersey-based firm in 2017 and finds value in the firm’s ethos to use ‘non-adversarial methods of reaching a consensus,’ whenever possible. This is evident through her qualifications as a collaborative lawyer, family law arbitrator, a civil and commercial mediator and a family mediator. Her approach has been highly commended, with one client describing her as a ‘pioneering lawyer with unmatchable integrity, limitless energy and gritty determination to get the best results for her client’.
