This year’s charity partner is the Coram Children’s Legal Centre, which protects the rights of children in the UK and abroad.

Nominations must be submitted on the Family Law Awards website, www.familylawawards.com, by midday on 1 June. The black tie ceremony takes place at The Ballroom South Bank on 28 November. Last year, more than 500 guests attended. Go to Twitter #familylawawards for the latest updates.
