Ammarah Balouch

Senior Associate — Children Team Growth & Development Lead

About

I am a Senior Associate Solicitor and Children Team Growth & Development Lead at Fullers Family Law. My primary focus is Private children law, where I advise and represent clients in complex and sensitive matters while leading the growth and development of our specialist Children Team. Alongside this, I continue to advise clients on financial matters arising from divorce and separation, enabling me to provide comprehensive family law support where children and financial issues overlap.

I specialise in all aspects of children law, representing clients in private children disputes, domestic abuse proceedings, and cases involving local authorities. I regularly act in complex cases involving allegations of domestic abuse, coercive and controlling behaviour, parental alienation, mental health difficulties, substance misuse, non-accidental injury, and other significant safeguarding concerns.

I understand that disputes involving children are often the most emotionally challenging legal matters a family can face. I pride myself on providing clear, practical advice with empathy and compassion, ensuring my clients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the legal process. My priority is always to achieve the best possible outcome while keeping the welfare of the child at the heart of every decision.

Advocacy is a key part of my practice, and I regularly represent clients at court, enabling many to benefit from continuity of representation without the need to instruct barristers. This allows me to provide a seamless, cost-effective service while ensuring my clients’ cases are presented with confidence and care.

Alongside my own practice, I am passionate about developing the next generation of family lawyers. As Children Team Growth & Development Lead, I am responsible for building and developing our specialist Children Team, mentoring junior colleagues, delivering training, strengthening relationships across the family justice sector, and helping to shape the future of our children law offering.

My commitment to access to justice extends beyond my work at Fullers Family Law. I have worked in South Africa, providing pro bono legal advice to vulnerable individuals, and have also supported refugees and disadvantaged communities in other parts of the world. These experiences have strengthened my passion for ensuring that everyone has access to justice, regardless of their circumstances. I am also proud to serve as a delegate for the United Nations, where I advocate for women’s rights and the rights of minority groups, reflecting my ongoing commitment to equality, justice, and creating meaningful social change both within and beyond the legal profession.

Delivering excellent results

Professional, compassionate and timely service

Anjani and Sophie have been nothing but professional and compassionate throughout my experience, they have always been on the ball with deadlines and have ensured everything is done in a timely manner. I'd describe the whole process as compact and considerate, ensuring things ran smoothly and there wasn't any
unnecessary tasks added which saved money and time. Very happy to have had them work with me!

Reassuring support through difficult times

Going into this process, I was terrified and emotional, from the start Hollie was reassuring, gave me all the information I could need, explained processes and answered all my questions regardless of how simple they may have been. Fullers helped me when situations changed and gave me the help I needed at a vulnerable point in my life. I genuinely couldn't of gotten a better experience elsewhere

Efficient, cost-saving divorce solution

The service I received from Jane-Louise and the team at Fullers Family Law was exemplary. Jane-Louise is one of the few solicitors that can deal with both parties using the Together We Part system. This works out so much cheaper and far quicker to get the divorce granted as only one lawyer is needed. This obviously only works if you're in agreement but if you are, I urge you to contact Jane-Louise and the team to discuss the Together We Part option. It saved us thousands and the divorce was granted within 6 months! Thank you team for your professionalism throughout.
