Kyle Squire Email & Phone Number

I am a barrister specialising in Court of Protection & Children law. I am shortlisted as ‘Junior of the Year - Court of Protection’ for the Legal 500 Bar Awards 2024. I am ranked as a Leading Junior in both areas in the Legal 500. I am most frequently instructed where the jurisdictions interact, such where there are issues of forced marriage, or where young adults are transitioning from children's to adult's social care. I act on behalf of the Official Solicitor, local authorities, parents and other family members and Children's Guardians. As well as practice through Chambers, I am employed as counsel at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust, a world leading children’s hospital based in London. In that role, I regularly represents the hospital in the High Court in relation to serious medical treatment applications, as well as in the Court of Protection and at inquests.
