Jeremy Frost is a highly sought-after barrister practicing at London's Goldsmith Chambers. 

Jeremy’s background gives him a unique skillset which has made him exceptionally popular with his wide-ranging demographic of clients. Before embarking on his legal career he worked as a Church of England priest (including five years on the senior staff at Canterbury Cathedral). This, together with his varied intellectual background (he holds multiple degrees from Oxford University and London University) have made him a particularly articulate, persuasive and fearless advocate, well in excess of his Year of Call (2018). His quick, clear thinking, his attention to detail, negotiation skills and his passion for justice have proved highly effective for his clients, and his down-to-earth manner and empathy gives them the confidence to give their best evidence. 

Jeremy’s extremely busy practice is largely focused on high conflict Family Law Children Act applications where there are allegations of domestic abuse or coercive and controlling behaviour. He has a further specialism in cases involving personality disorders, in particular Narcissism. He has represented many hundreds of clients, and regularly appears in both first-instance and appeal courts, often in case involving complex factual backgrounds and/or points of law. 

The breadth and depth of Jeremy’s legal expertise (across various legal jurisdictions) enables him to bring ‘outside-the-box’ thinking to his cases. During his pupillage and early tenancy, Jeremy gained a strong grounding in criminal law, and appeared regularly in complex cases in the Youth Court, Magistrates’ Court, and Crown Court, and before the Parole Board. Perhaps unexpectedly, this background now informs much of his work in the Family Court. Jeremy also has a life-long commitment to animal rights, and is a member of ALAW, the UK Centre for Animal Law. Again, this work intersects with Family Law, in particular in cases involving domestic abuse.

Although a fearless advocate, Jeremy recognises that the Family Court is often not the ideal forum for clients involved in difficult disputes, and he is currently training to become a mediator (including hybrid mediation) as a result. He expects to be able to accept instructions in that area from early 2026.

To compliment his Family Law practice, Jeremy also maintains a practice in civil liberties work, with a focus on actions against the police, where he is happy to accept instructions under conditional fee agreements (‘CFAs’). He also continues to accept instructions in immigration and public law, having successfully represented many clients in both tiers of the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal, at bail hearings and asylum, human rights and EEA appeals, with a particular expertise in cases involving trafficking and modern slavery. He has represented clients in the High Court and Court of Appeal on numerous occasions. 

Alongside studying for the Bar, Jeremy undertook a traineeship at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and served for two years as a member of the Young Lawyers Committee of the Human Rights Lawyers Association. In addition to his legal qualifications, he holds undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Music and Theology, and has a particular interest in the Middle Eastern politics and associated issues of international law. In his limited spare time, he writes music and poetry, plays the piano, and is a lifelong supporter of Manchester City Football Club.

Jeremy accepts instructions throughout England and Wales. He is qualified to accept instructions via the Direct Access Scheme.
