Clients tell us that as well as offering sound, jargon-free advice about separation and divorce, we are friendly and empathetic. Our advice is tailored to individual needs. Not all aspects of a client's case will require the attention of a partner or senior solicitor.
Working in teams, which include skilled legal executives or paralegals and our own in-house barrister Ian Kennerley, allows us to offer "blended fees" so that work can be done more cost efficiently, which usually leads to an overall saving.Our team includes members of Resolution (a national organisation of family lawyers committed to a non-confrontational approach to all family issues) and the Family Law Bar Association.

Divorce & Separation
Report
Going through separation or divorce can be incredibly painful and the consequences far-reaching - particularly when there are children involved. At Silk Family Law we appreciate the difficult situations that can arise when a relationship breaks down, and our experienced team will work with you to identify early on what the main issues are likely to be in your particular case - and how they may be resolved.
Financial Provision
Report
The resolution of financial issues on divorce can often be complex, requiring an understanding of business accounts, pensions and trust assets. Silk Family Law's unrivaled breadth of experience and expertise in these financial areas means that we can confidently provide you with straightforward and cost effective advice.
Nuptial Agreements & Asset Protection
Report
If you and your partner enter into a pre- or post-nuptial agreement, you can determine in advance how your assets will be shared should you separate or subsequently divorce. Making those decisions before you marry, or enter into a civil partnership, will reduce the financial and emotional trauma of divorce - should it ever happen.
