Family Law

We appreciate that confrontational litigation is costly in emotional and financial terms. We therefore take a constructive and conciliatory approach at the same time as recognising the need for strong negotiation and representation where necessary.

Our specialist team aims to work quickly to resolve your case cost effectively and we have immediate access to supporting expertise both within the firm and outside for example: mediators, valuers, actuaries and financial advisers.

Most of all we appreciate that every family problem is unique and we treat it that way.
We specialise in:
• pre-marital and cohabitation agreements
• advice on divorce and separation
• financial settlements including complex situations such as family businesses and farms
• pensions
• civil partnership and cohabitation disputes
• children: including residence, contact and removal from jurisdiction
• care proceedings
• special guardianship
• domestic violence
