About David

Prof David Hodson OBE KC(Hons) MCIArb

This is my personal website.  

It combines aspects of my personal interests, including sermons and Christian talks, my interest in green issues and my books written.  For my professional work please visit Infinity Family Law by clicking on the button below.

I am a very experienced family law dispute resolution specialist, especially involving an international element or complex assets or issues. I was joint co-founder (2007), previously a partner of and now Special Counsel at The International Family Law Group.

I was appointed OBE in the Queens Birthday Honours List, June 2014, for "services to international family law". I was awarded a (now) KC (Hons) in 2022 for my work in improving English law and practice.  I am a Visiting Professor at the University of Law and Honorary Professor at Leicester University.  I am a lay preacher in the Church of England.

I have spoken extensively at conferences around the world and had the incredible opportunity to be involved in reform of the law and practice, nationally and internationally

Also on this website are the personal interests, activities and qualifications of my wife, Ann Hodson, with details of her professional work being found on the Infinity Family Law website.
