Family Law
We recognise that the breakdown of a relationship can be stressful and emotionally charged. While every situation is different, reducing hostility and conflict is essential. Our approach to dealing with separation and divorce aims to minimise unnecessary disputes and ensure that you achieve the best outcome possible.
From our offices in London, Southampton and Bournemouth we advise clients across London and the South on family legal matters and are recognised as one of the leading family law teams in the region. We are experienced handling the most complex and sensitive of matters and can provide advice on all aspects of the law and the best way of resolving disputes concerning couples, families and their relationships, including:
- divorce and separation
- children matters including residence orders (custody) and contact (access)
- financial disputes and financial remedy (ancillary relief) involving in particular business assets, trusts and pensions
- cohabitation issues
- same sex relationships, civil partnerships and dissolution
- pre-nuptial and pre-civil partnership agreements
- international family matters
- surrogacy and fertility law
- mediation
- collaborative law
- litigation funding
Our approach
We aim to be fair but firm, using our skills and experience to help you to achieve your desired outcome. When required we will adopt a robust approach to deal with difficult and opposing points of view. Our clients trust us to provide high quality family law advice and exceptional client support in the most challenging of circumstances.
All our solicitors are specialists in family law and are members of Resolution, the professional body representing family lawyers which encourages a non-confrontational approach to resolving family disputes. A number of our team are also trained family mediators and collaborative lawyers allowing us to offer methods of resolving family disputes which are designed to reduce confrontation, keep costs to a minimum and where possible avoid the need to go to court.

"I realise by the very nature of your profession that you sadly encounter situations like mine all too often. However from my perspective your role was invaluable. Amid the chaos and shock that I found myself in you were able to guide me, take control and lead me through to the best possible outcome.”
