Initially the firm's work was predominantly Anglo-Australian, drawing on members' Antipodean roots. The international scope broadened, particularly with an increase in Anglo-American cases and especially European work generated by Britain's growing legal, economic and social ties with the European Union. In 1999 the firm was restructured into International Family Law Chambers. We have found that our knowledge of the general principles of international family law practice is largely transferrable between many jurisdictions. The general rule, that a prudent lawyer examines all relevant international options before advising on any, is a truth we universally acknowledge.

In 2011 David Truex transformed IFLC from a law firm to a web based information and referal service.

The IFLC network of lawyers practise in all areas of matrimonial and family law work, including divorce, finances (maintenance and property), child custody and access (residence and contact), international child abduction (Hague and European Conventions) and preparing pre-marriage contracts. They have particular expertise in complex financial disputes where off-shore assets are in issue, especially where questions of choice of jurisdiction and forum arise.
