Amber Kennedy

Solicitor

Family Law

Biography

I am a solicitor in the family department at Tees, which is based in the Cambridge office. I have been working in Family law since 2020 and qualified as a Solicitor in March 2023. I advise clients on a range of family matters, including private children’s law, divorce and finances, and cases involving domestic abuse.

Delivering what you really need

I understand that family disputes can be very challenging and emotional. I recognise that clients are often experiencing unfamiliar and daunting circumstances, and seeking help from a solicitor can be overwhelming. I strive to support clients through their experiences and the legal process by providing an empathetic yet pragmatic approach and clear and concise advice throughout.

I seek to resolve disputes constructively and practically by considering alternative methods of dispute resolution where possible and appropriate. I aim to handle matters cost-effectively and efficiently, keeping my clients involved and informed throughout.

I collaborate with colleagues, both within the family team and other departments within Tees, to provide clients with seamless service.

Amber Kennedy is an accomplished lawyer, approachable, pragmatic and sensible.

Resolution is an organisation that promotes a non-confrontational approach to family law issues. I am a Mediation Champion, which means I am committed to helping people use mediation to reduce conflict during separation. I often advise clients throughout this process. I volunteer with the Cambridge Acorn Project and the Anglia Ruskin University Law Clinic.

I studied Law at the University of Southampton, graduating in 2018 with a First-Class Honours Degree (LLB). I then completed my Legal Practice Course (LPC) and a Master’s in Professional Legal Practice (LLM) at the University of Law in Guildford, obtaining a high Distinction. I worked as a Paralegal in family law at a high-street law firm before commencing my training contract. During my training contract, I spent an extended period in family law and gained experience in private clients and conveyancing.
