Family Lawyers & Solicitors

Helping you at every step of your relationship

As family lawyers, we deal with more than just divorce. 

From the start of your relationship, we can work with you to consider asset protection and wealth protection using Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements and Cohabitation and Living Together Agreements.

If relationships break down, we understand that it can be a testing and overwhelming time.  It is important to have the advice and support you need to consider the most appropriate way forward and for you and for that advice to be provided in a clear and simple way. 

We specialise in guiding you through the process of separation in a strategic yet supportive manner and are experienced in dealing with complex issues such as issues relating to trusts, business assets and matters with international aspects.

How do we work?

We will guide you towards the best outcome for you, your family and particularly your children. We will always consider alternative dispute resolution options and the use of mediation, collaborative law, lawyer led negotiation or arbitration to resolve your difficulties without court proceedings. These options can reduce your exposure to costs. If you do need to go to court, you have an excellent team on your side.

  • We will give you clear advice and support if you do need to go to court

  • We will deal with your situation with discretion and offer a sensitive approach
  • We often deal with complex cases involving businesses, trusts and pension assets.

Due to the strength of our tax, trust, property, employment and company law departments, we are able to ensure that specialist advice is available at all times when addressing such issues. We pride ourselves in offering the highest standard of professional representation.
