Our Family Law Services
We provide a full range of family law services, supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most important and often challenging moments. Our approach is straightforward: clear advice, practical solutions, and a focus on resolving matters as efficiently and constructively as possible.
Divorce and Separation
Divorce can feel overwhelming, particularly when emotions and finances are closely tied together. Our solicitors guide you through the process from start to finish, whether your divorce is straightforward or more complex. We support with everything from filing the application through to resolving financial matters and child arrangements. Where possible, we aim to keep matters amicable and out of court, but we are equally experienced in representing clients where disputes arise.

High Net Worth Divorce
Where significant assets are involved, divorce requires a more strategic approach. We regularly advise on cases involving business interests, property portfolios, pensions, investments, and international assets. We work alongside financial experts where needed to ensure a full understanding of the asset landscape, helping you protect your position while working towards a fair and workable outcome.

Financial Settlements
Reaching a financial settlement is often one of the most important aspects of a separation. We provide clear advice on how assets should be divided, including property, pensions, savings, and ongoing financial support. Our focus is on securing a fair outcome that reflects both your contributions and your future needs, whether through negotiation or court proceedings.

Child Arrangements
When children are involved, getting the right arrangements in place is essential. We help parents agree on where a child will live, how much time they spend with each parent, and how decisions are made. Where agreements cannot be reached, we can support with court applications, including child arrangements orders and other related matters, always keeping the child’s best interests at the centre.

Non-Court Dispute Resolution
Not every family law matter needs to go to court. In many cases, disputes can be resolved more quickly and with less stress through alternative methods. We advise on a range of non-court options, helping you find the most practical and cost-effective route forward while maintaining as much control over the outcome as possible.

Mediation Services
Mediation can be an effective way to resolve disputes without the time and cost of court proceedings. It allows both parties to work towards an agreement with the support of an independent mediator. We can guide you through the mediation process and help ensure any agreement reached is fair and legally sound.
Injunctions and Domestic Abuse
If you are experiencing domestic abuse or need urgent protection, we can act quickly to secure legal measures such as non-molestation orders and occupation orders. We handle these matters with sensitivity and urgency, helping you take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Planning ahead can provide clarity and reassurance for both parties. We advise on and draft prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that are fair, transparent, and designed to stand up in court. These agreements can help avoid uncertainty and protect assets in the event of a relationship breakdown.

Civil Partnership Dissolution
Ending a civil partnership involves many of the same considerations as divorce, including financial arrangements and property division.We guide you through the process clearly and practically, helping you reach a fair resolution with as little stress as possible.

Cohabitation and Unmarried Couples
Unmarried couples do not have the same legal protections as married couples, which can make separation more complex. We advise on cohabitation agreements, property disputes, and financial claims, helping you understand your position and protect your interests.
Specialist Child Law Matters
In addition to standard arrangements, we also handle more complex child law cases, including international child abduction, special guardianship orders, and parental responsibility disputes. These cases require careful handling and experience, and we work to resolve them as smoothly as possible while prioritising the child’s welfare.
