When you experience difficulties in your private and family life, our award-winning team of family law solicitors can help. We offer a compassionate approach to resolving family disputes because we understand how stressful it can be.
Our family law and divorce experts provide tailored, individual advice across a broad range of areas concerning relationships, children and international matters. The breadth of our family services means we have a wealth of experience to draw on, which informs our understanding of what are often complex and difficult situations.
We offer legal advice to help you decide the best approach for you. Whether you are entering a legal agreement with your partner or your relationship is breaking down, our family law and divorce solicitors can work with you and offer comprehensive advice. When children are involved we are always sensitive to both their needs and yours as a parent or guardian.
Our clients trust us because we listen to their needs, understand their concerns and advocate on their behalf.
We act in your best interests and deal with family matters in a pragmatic and non-confrontational way. We always consider whether an agreement can be reached between parties, through mediation or other means. This cost-effective approach means that our clients can often avoid the uncertainty of going to court and is considered best practice by family lawyers’ group Resolution, of which we are members.
Not all family disputes can be resolved outside of the court room. Where mediation is not an option we work hard to achieve a fair solution as quickly as possible. Our family law solicitors offer guidance, support and legal advice throughout proceedings so you can concentrate on the well-being of you and your loved ones.
