Katherine Luckhurst

Katherine joined Chambers in October 2024 and is currently accepting instructions in all areas of family law.

Katherine spent her first six months of pupillage under the principal supervision of Rebekah Wilson, whilst also spending time with other members of Chambers. Katherine has shadowed cases spanning the spectrum of family law, including public and private children law and financial remedies matters. Katherine has gained experience in all stages of proceedings, from initial ICO applications to complex fact-finding hearings involving multiple intervenors.

Prior to commencing pupillage, Katherine worked at Covent Garden Family Law as a paralegal, where she worked on cases involving public children law, private children law and Hague Convention cases. The firm’s caseload included reported cases involving complex issues of transparency, international elements, and allegations of serious non-accidental injury against parents. Within her role, Katherine regularly attended court alongside counsel on cases in the Family Courts and High Court. Additionally, Katherine worked directly with clients, drafting witness statements, conducting meetings and dealing with client enquiries. In this role, Katherine has developed an empathetic yet firm approach to working with clients. In addition to her paralegal responsibilities, Katherine also represented clients at pre-proceedings meetings, where she discussed the written agreement with the clients and then advocated for them during and after the meeting.

Katherine also has a keen interest in working with victims and alleged perpetrators of domestic violence, having worked and continuing to volunteer with the Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline for a number of years. Her work includes advising and signposting victims and perpetrators to resources to assist with their individual circumstances. Katherine continues to volunteer with the helpline in her spare time and maintains a thorough knowledge of support services for those experiencing domestic violence.
