Coram Chambers was founded following a successful merger of two specialist family law groups in 1999. None of us knew how to go about merging, and I was glad to be offered a free meeting with the head of a managerial and public relations firm. She had successfully managed the merger of two other chambers- which was almost unheard of in 1999.
Barristers' chambers did not merge. They stayed the same for ever, or they split, often traumatically. We could not possibly afford her services, but she was interested to see what we were up to. At 8 am I was there, with my pencil eagerly poised, while she began to set out the problems we would encounter.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tosin Oguntayo from Coram Chambers with regards a Family Law matter. From the outset, Tosin was able to give me solid advice and manage my expectations as to the potential outcomes of my case. He worked closely with my solicitor and through his excellent technical knowledge and direct and professional approach, was able to deliver the best possible outcome for me on the day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tosin in the future.

Melissa Harrison represented me on a direct access basis through acrimonious child arrangements. Before instructing Melissa I had previously no access for 10 months to my child as solicitors were not able to make progress. After our first meeting she told me that despite my ex withholding and dubious statements she could see my face light up talking about my little one and that the circle of truth would become clear in this case. Melissa is results focused and was strong in her representation with excellent strategy and sound council which got us everything we proposed in the application despite

The advice, support and advocacy Richard Yorke gave me in 2019 was exactly what I had hoped for. He was recommended to me by another single mother who had used Richard for her own acrimonious divorce and said he was like a super hero, which really is in a way (looks a bit like a UK Captain America!). We both had had an extremely complicated case and no money, going through a divorce in which both our partners, once separated became different people and had lost all empathy or interest in the children, keen only to get out and to win financially. I was a mess.

My experience with the family court solicitor Srishti Suresh was outstanding.
Miss Suresh handled my case very professionally with a very attentive and intellectual approach. Her knowledge around child arrangements was very reassuring and I definitely recommend her as she will go above and beyond. She kept me well informed each step of the way and debriefed very thoroughly after the court procedures. My daughter who was a witness felt very comfortable with Miss Suresh as she made the whole experience easier.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, all the best wishes.

I had high expectations when Tosin was recommended to me as a Direct Access Barrister, but his advice and service went above and beyond expectations. Tosin’s skill & professionalism guided me through protracted and emotional negotiation to achieve an out of court financial settlement and custody agreement. His patience, explanations and reassurance helped me understand the legal processes and also be realistic about what I could achieve given the complexity of our situation. His expertise with the round table negotiations was fundamental in achieving an agreed settlement. I would highly recommend

Tosin Oguntayo - as my direct access barrister - was the epitome of calm throughout my recent court hearings. He is astute, extremely knowledgeable and unflappable. He also really cares about the outcome. He works incredibly hard to get a fair and good outcome. I highly recommed him.

Sarah Tyler has been representing me for years now in a complex, difficult and protracted case. Her work is truly exceptional, she possesses a great attention to details, competence and her preparedness and a very strong client advocacy are second to none. I have heavily relied on her expertise, experience, advice, it has been comforting in difficult circumstances to count on a barrister of Sarah's calibre. She is very highly professional and always 'on point' with a human centred approach. Thank you Sarah- you are a true example to your profession and an inspiration!

Coram Chambers have been recommended to me by a mediator.
Mr Tosin Oguntayo became my legal advisor at the time when I was about to give up with the court case.
Not only has he taken over, removing a big chunk of burden off my shoulders, but also he gave me hope, courage and positive guidance throughout the process.
His experience and expertise brought clarity as of what I can expect and anything he predicted, did in fact happen in the courts.
I would 100% recommend Coram Chambers and especially Tosin.
