Services
Divorce and Separation
We handle all aspects of divorce and separation, including financial settlements, asset division, and child custody arrangements. Our Resolution-accredited specialists prioritise amicable solutions to reduce emotional and financial strain. With former barristers leading cases, clients benefit from strategic advice and courtroom expertise when required.
Pre-nuptial Agreements
Our solicitors draft legally binding pre-nuptial and cohabitation agreements to protect assets and clarify financial responsibilities. We ensure clarity and fairness while adhering to evolving family law standards. These agreements help prevent disputes in the event of relationship breakdown.
Child Custody and Contact
We specialise in residency, contact rights, and parental responsibility disputes, always prioritising children's welfare. Our team handles international child removal cases and enforces court orders. Mediation services are offered to achieve sustainable family-focused outcomes.
Asset Preservation
Our firm advises on preventing asset dissipation during divorce, including tracing hidden assets in trusts or offshore accounts. We collaborate with forensic accountants to secure fair financial settlements. This service extends to pension division and business valuation complexities.
Inheritance Claims
We represent clients in claims for financial provision after a partner's death, including challenging inadequate will provisions. Our experience covers contested probate matters and resolving disputes over trusts or dependants' rights under family law statutes.
