Our family law & divorce expertise
Child law services
Putting children’s best interests at the heart of everything we do, we offer advice on child arrangements, decisions relating to children, parenting plans, relocation, parental responsibility, and child maintenance.
Cohabitation agreements
A cohabitation agreement can provide valuable clarity and protection for unmarried couples. Our specialists help you put clear arrangements in place covering property, finances, ownership and responsibilities.
Divorce and separation
Whether you are ending a marriage or civil partnership, we can guide you through the legal process with sensitivity and clarity. We support clients with all aspects of divorce, including financial settlements and child arrangements. For couples seeking an amicable split, our ‘one couple, one lawyer’ approach can offer a more collaborative way forward. We also have extensive experience in high-net-worth divorce cases involving complex financial assets.
Domestic abuse and injunctions
If you are experiencing abuse, whether physical, emotional, financial or other forms of abuse we can assist with helping you feel safe. Whether it be obtaining emergency court orders to prevent further abuse or regulate the use of a property or assisting with longer-term protection measures, we offer compassionate support throughout the process.
Family and divorce mediation
Our accredited mediation services offer a constructive alternative to court proceedings. We help couples and families resolve disputes through child-focused and financial mediation, including MIAMs (Mediation Information and Assessment Meetings). Our experienced lawyers can also offer other joint services and out of court options, sometimes working closely with other professionals to find solutions that work for everyone.
Finances
Financial matters can be complex, especially during a separation. We provide strategic, practical advice on divorce settlements, division of assets, pension sharing, trusts, and business interests. If you’re concerned your partner may not be acting fairly, we can also assist with emergency applications to freeze assets and protect your financial position.
