Family law is simply a term to refer to the laws relating to family matters in England and Wales. Family law can seem a bit tricky from the outside as, where many areas of law concern objective authorities such as trade, commerce, employment etc., family law often involves private disputes or social decisions based on individual family dynamics. Family law covers but isn’t necessarily limited to:

Divorce
Finances
Civil partnerships
Arrangements regarding children
Cohabitation agreements
Domestic abuse
Pre-marriage agreements
Separations

Family law can cover a wide variety of topics, so if you need help clarifying your current situation, our team of qualified, approachable family lawyers are just a phone call or meeting away to help you make sense of your legal standing. We provide excellent, reliable legal advice and support on all tenets of family law.

When a relationship breaks down, the emotional toll on all parties can make dealing with legal fallout seem like an insurmountable task. Our second-to-none team of divorce Solicitors understand these difficulties and are here to help you make sense of your situation. At a time when the security of a family or relationship is shaken, we’re here to guide you through proceedings to the best possible outcome.

In order to assist you in managing your legal costs, we also offer fixed fee arrangements for Divorce and Dissolution Applications, so there’s one less thing for you to worry about.

The rights of parents and children in the law require a deft and experienced hand to navigate.

Thankfully our team of family Solicitors will help fight for a fair and empathetic outcome to children’s matters. Most importantly, we’ll strive to ensure the best possible result for the children.

Some of the specialist legal issues we can guide you through include but are not limited to:

Special guardianship orders

We have been fortunate to have had dealings with Manak Solicitors whom have represented both buyers and sellers with conveyancing requirements over many years now - We have found them to be very efficient and helpful with enquiries raised and they always respond back to us efficiently. We would not hesitate in recommending them to any potential purchaser, or seller. (Key Property Consultants- Penge).

Following an unfortunate situation, I received a court summons for travelling without a train ticket. I reached out to Samir Moftah at Manak Solicitors for help with my case. With a court date set for just over a week's time, Samir worked extremely quickly to try and resolve the situation. From the first consultation, he reassured me that he would do everything within his power to get me the best result. He was extremely professional and managed to secure a settlement for me within 3 days despite the complications with my case. I would recommend that anybody facing the same situation reach out to Samir Moftah. If anybody can help, it is him. Thank you once again for your services.

A legal dispute spanning over two years was a traumatic experience.I was lucky enough to have Ms Mali Smith at Manak Solicitors on my side. She was professional, attention to detail, a good listener (the best I have met with) and was easily approachable. Her diary was a perfection, I never had to follow up.The two words missing in her vocabulary were NO and CAN'T.I cannot thank Ms Smith enough for being a brilliant solicitor and an amazing person.

Ryan Warner

13:48 29 Jan 21

I had a problem with a commercial lease and break clause, which involved a business partner and a landlord in a shop premises in Bexleyheath.A document was made for me to sign before i left the lease and shop which i didn't understand too well. After contacting Surrinder at manak solicitors, he strongly advised me to not sign it as there was a clause in there that would still make me a guarantor for the lease over the next 7 years. Which in effect could of ruined me years down the line.He walked me through each step and told me what had to be done, it took a while to complete over 6 months but this was due to problems with the landlord and their solicitor. Surrinder and his team handled my case in a very professional manner, getting me out of the lease liability completely with any issues i may of had with my ex business partner.I cant thank them enough, if i hadn't sought their legal advice and used their services i would be in a very different position right now.Many thanks to all the team at The Gravesend and Orpington Branches.

I received Manak's details from MSE, so was confident that the service would be good, and we were not disappointed. Nosheen is very friendly, helpful and informative, and took us through the process of drafting our wills very efficiently. Nosheen answered all of our questions with professionalism and courtesy. We had a lot of questions, to make sure everything we were advised, was what we actually needed and Nosheen provided this. No matter how silly you may think your question is, please ask. I'm glad I did. Thank you Nosheen and the team. Dawn

I have used manak solicitors for conveyancing on both selling and purchasing properties! ! I have found that they have a friendly and helpful attitude whilst remaining very professional in their attention to detail and accuracy when supplying information and feedback! Keeping one aware at all times !which helps to ease the frustration !when buying or selling properties . knowing what is going on and keeping your client informed is key to good conveyancing and this is what Jasdeep Singh Jandu, and his assistant charley manage to achieve. I was told by the Estate agent Mr Griffiths that they were the best! That is why I chose manak to do my conveyancing in the first place, and I am very happy I did.Ken mills! !
