Andrzej Bojarski

Call: 1995

Preferred Counsel for the Equality and Human Rights Commission

Andrzej is a family law specialist. He is Head of the Family Team at 36 Bedford Row and also leads the Family Finance Team.

 Over half his practice is in financial ancillary relief and related areas of property law. He has published a leading textbook on ancillary relief. Much of his other work revolves around public law children proceedings (care proceedings). He also retains a practice in wider aspects of civil law, including general common law work and personal injury.

During his first five years at the Bar Andrzej had a broad based common law practice, including criminal work. This wide experience of different areas of law serves him particularly well when dealing with the wide ranging issues which can arise in family litigation. Despite his primary focus on family work, Andrzej continues to undertake general civil litigation, including commercial work, professional negligence and personal injury claims. 

Andrzej brings a sensitive and pragmatic approach to his cases, understanding the need to give clients realistic expectations from an early stage. He welcomes early involvement in cases with a view to becoming an active part of the client's 'team’ throughout the development of the case. He strongly believes in the need to combine a sympathetic manner whilst being able to give clear, realistic and, sometimes, blunt advice. He recognises the importance of written advocacy in family and civil proceedings, including the use of spreadsheets and other computer generated presentations, to supplement and reinforce oral submissions.
