Harcourt Chambers is delighted to announce that Sian Cox has been appointed as a Recorder in the Family Court on the South Eastern Circuit.

Sian’s appointment forms part of the latest round of Recorder appointments announced by the Judiciary and will take effect from 8th June 2026. Her appointment is a well-deserved recognition of her expertise and longstanding contribution to family law.

Called to the Bar in 2008 and a tenant of Harcourt Chambers since 2009, Sian has built an outstanding practice spanning both public and private children law. She is widely recognised for her excellent advocacy, sound judgment and exceptional client care. Her work encompasses some of the most complex areas of children law, including serious non-accidental injury, fabricated or induced illness, relocation and international children cases.

Sian was Highly Commended Family Law Junior Barrister of the Year 2025 and is ranked by both Chambers and Legal 500.

We warmly congratulate Sian on her appointment and wish her every success in her judicial role.
