Camilla Choudhury–Khawaja

Direct Access Barrister – LL.B Hons LL.M BVC

Year of Call 1998

I was Called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1998 by The Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn, after graduating with a Masters in International and Comparative Law. I began lecturing Law at University College London in 1999 and continued my academic career for a further sixteen years at the Universities of London and Westminster.

With eighteen years plus experience of lecturing and advising clients on varying areas of law I set up the legal consultancy, The Women’s Lawyer (TWL), in 2012, with the fundamental aim of assisting women with an affordable and approachable service with a focus upon divorce and relationship breakdown . This practice led to my qualifying as Direct Access Counsel in 2017, I hold a current practising certificate with dual capacity as a Barrister in both self employed practice on a Direct Access basis and within employed practice within a local firm of solicitors, as their in house counsel. I am also a door tenant within Quartz Barristers Chambers within which I specialise in matrimonial finance.

Due to the success of my efforts with The Women’s Lawyer I am now able to commit to my practice of family law on a full time basis.
