Profile
Amean specialises in family law with a practice predominately in the Family Court, High Court (Family Division) and the Court of Appeal, representing parents, grandparents, carers and children.
He regularly acts in a range of significant cases, often involving complex medical evidence, cross-examination of children and vulnerable witnesses, and where there are allegations of historic sexual abuse.
Amean regularly acts for competent children and children’s guardians, in both private family law disputes and within care proceedings.
He has represented parties in cases which have received significant press attention, including where there are allegations that children are at risk of, and vulnerable to, radicalisation and extremism. He has acted in several cases where parents have been accused of murdering their own child(ren).
He regularly acts for clients with additional needs and works alongside interpreters and intermediaries with ease.
Amean accepts instructions in the Court of Protection and regularly undertakes Civil work involving claims on behalf of children against the Police and local authorities; under the Human Rights Act 1998 and Equality Act 2010.
Amean’s forensic approach – through his background in criminal defence – is often called upon in highly complex fact-finding hearings involving allegations of serious non-accidental injury and sexual abuse.
Amean regularly speaks at Career events to support those from underrepresented backgrounds into the legal profession. He often supports students with advocacy training for mock trials and maintains a commitment to undertaking pro-bono work.
