Originally from Manchester, Judith Knight moved to Hull in 1981 as a newly qualified solicitor. She gained experience in all areas of family law before specialising in childcare proceedings from the late 1980s.

A member of the Law Society’s Children Panel since November 1990, her areas of expertise are representing children, parents or other family members in public law care proceedings and in private law proceedings with social worker involvement.
