Joshua Viney is ranked as a leading matrimonial finance junior in Chambers & Partners 2025 and in the Legal 500 2025. Doyle’s Guide 2025 ranks him as ‘Preeminent’. The directories describe him as “one of the new breed of go-to juniors” who “gets all the intellectually difficult cases and for good reason” and that he “is hard-working, fiendishly bright and commercially astute” who “will be one of the greats of his generation”. In 2023, he was nominated for Junior Barrister of the Year (LexisNexis Family Law Awards) and Family Law Barrister of the Year (Citywealth Future Leaders Awards), winning the latter.
Joshua regularly appears in the High Court and Court of Appeal, both with and without a leader. He is due to appear in the Court of Appeal again in two appeals in late 2025. He has eighteen reported cases and, in the last year alone, Joshua has successfully appeared in three reported High Court decisions: ST v AR [2025] EWFC 4, James Morgan Copinger-Symes v Maria-Christina Copinger-Symes & Anor [2024] EWFC 415 and THR v WAT [2025] EWHC 1125 (Fam).
Joshua has been, for the last decade, an author of Class Legal’s ‘Financial Remedies Practice’. He is also an author of Rayden & Jackson and regularly pens articles and delivers seminars on a variety of financial remedy topics that interest him.
Prior to joining the Bar, Joshua undertook a research Masters on Divorce Reform, worked in Parliament and taught at Durham University.
