Family Law

Relationships end for many reasons. What really matters is where you go from here. Our specialist Family law team will work with you to bring things to a fair conclusion, whether you have been married, in a civil partnership, or living together.

We cover all aspects of family issues, including dealing with assets like homes, businesses, companies and trusts as well as arrangements for where children live and how much time they spend with the relevant adults.

Our approach is to avoid unnecessary confrontation and try to deal with all matters by agreement wherever possible: this brings huge benefits not only in terms of legal costs saved, but also in reduced stress, upset and possible damage to any children, in an already difficult time. There are many tools that can be used to settle even the most difficult of matters and all our family lawyers follow the Resolution Code of Conduct to achieve the best result. See also our page on alternatives to Court.

When Court action is needed, we have a great deal of experience in all family matters that come before the Courts. We have represented clients in Courts of all levels, including on the most complex and difficult matters.

We can help with:

Above all, our focus is on looking after our clients and their children at what is often one of the most difficult points in their lives. All our family law advice is, of course, in complete confidence and we are always happy to speak informally on the phone before arranging any appointment
