Platt will be replaced by Stephen Cobb QC after 17 years leading the chambers. Cobb will work alongside joint head of chambers Alison Ball QC. Platt, who will continue to practise from 1 Garden Court, said: "It is time to give way to the next generation." One Garden Court is one of the largest sets specialising solely in family law, with 53 members.
