Cardiff-based 9 Park Place Chambers has been named Financial Remedies Regional Chambers of the Year at the 2026 Financial Remedies Awards.

The national awards recognise excellence and achievement across financial remedies practice, celebrating the work of barristers, solicitors, chambers and law firms specialising in financial matters arising from family breakdown.

The award was presented at a ceremony in London on 15 October, following the Financial Remedies Conference.

9 Park Place was recognised for the strength of its Family Team, whose members are regularly instructed in complex and high-value financial remedy cases across Wales and beyond.

The judging panel, comprising Sir Nicholas Mostyn, Samantha Hillas KC, Rhys Taylor and Sarah Hoskinson, highlighted the chambers’ contribution to legal practice, chambers culture, non-court dispute resolution, fee transparency and pro bono work.

In particular, the judges praised its long-standing Band 1 ranking, strong casework, Family Options Hub and clear fee policy.

They also recognised the chambers’ structured mentoring, Welsh-language services and early adoption of the Chambers Pro Bono Framework.

Lisa Thomas, Head of Family Financial Remedy at 9 Park Place Chambers, said:

“This award is a fantastic recognition of the quality, dedication and expertise of our Family Team.

“We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our instructing solicitors, clients and professional colleagues for their continued support.”

9 Park Place chambers added:

“Being recognised as Financial Remedies Regional Chambers of the Year 2026 is a tremendous honour, and we look forward to continuing to deliver the highest standards of advocacy, advice and client care.”

The award follows further recognition for 9 Park Place in the Chambers UK Bar 2027 Guide, which ranked the set in Band 1 for Family: Children and Matrimonial Finance, alongside recognition across other specialist practice areas.
